Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9938433A1] A method and apparatus are provided for modeling cerebral circulation in a living subject. The method includes the steps (200) of developing a model for living subjects in general, and correcting the model to substantially conform to the overall cerebral physiology of the living subject. The method further includes the step of calculating a cerebral flow of the living subject based upon the corrected model and a selected cerebral blood flow pertubation.
