  • Note:—Pt indicates patient; R, right; L, left; Avg, average/mean whole-brain CBF; NA, not applicable/excluded; T, mean of each arterial territory.

  • a Arterial territory–specific and mean whole-brain CBF values (in milliliters/100 g of tissue/min) from 17 patients with BMT prior to (left columns) and at the first scan after (right columns) transplantation. In the interest of space and simplicity, CBF values were rounded to the nearest whole number for this display.

  • b Significant increase in mean whole-brain CBF.

  • c Significant.
