    This compensatory effect is however usually inadequate to maintain a normal blood supply. [11] Therapies that attempt to optimize leptomeningeal collateral circulation appear to improve outcomes following acute ischaemic stroke. [2] MRI and CT brain imaging is used to determine the severity of a stroke, and help guide treatment. Fluid ...

    Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is the blood supply to the brain in a given period of time. [8] In an adult, CBF is typically 750 millilitres per minute or 15.8 ± 5.7% of the cardiac output . [ 9 ] This equates to an average perfusion of 50 to 54 millilitres of blood per 100 grams of brain tissue per minute.
