Normal brain function requires adequate cerebral blood flow (CBF). Thus, understanding the physiology and pathophysiology of the brain requires accurate measurement of CBF. This article will describe the theory and practice of methods that have been used to measure CBF in both experimental animals and in humans, including the Fick Principle, the Central Volume Principle, the Compartmental Principle, and the use of radioactive and non radioactive tracers.
