ABSTRACT

Measurement of the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) is one way of imaging the function of the cerebral cortex. Such measurements might be helpful in the evaluation of the consequences of brain damage for the function of the brain, as well as for elucidating how different rehabilitation methods utilize its preserved potentials. In this chapter, two illustrative cases are described in which the rCBF measurements helped to understand the functional consequences of the brain disorder, as well as helped to supply information of value for the rehabilitation process.
