Cerebral blood volume: values obtained with 51-Cr-labeled red blood cells and RISA.

Abstract
Cerebral blood was measured in normal cats using 51Cr-labeled red blood cells and RISA [albumin-131]. In separate series blood volume was determined with each isotope separately and with both isotopes in the same animal. The RISA values were significantly higher than those obtained with 51Cr. There is evidence that RISA enters the brain, but slowly and in small quantities. Most of the difference in the cerebral blood volumes determined with the 2-isotopes was attributed to a cerebral hematocrit lower than the large vessel hematocrit.
