Abstract
Brain and pulmonary scans after intracarotid or intravertebral artery injections of MAAI131 have proved to be a simple and safe procedure to detect cerebral arteriovenous fistulas.A technique of estimating the rate of shunting blood flow through the fistula to the total blood flow through the involved (carotid or vertebral) artery has been devised. Clinical application of the technique has proved this to be a sensitive investigative method for the quantitative study of the hemodynamics of the cerebral arteriovenous fistulas.Keywords
