Abstract
One of the more difficult problems facing neurosurgeons involved in extracranial-intracranial anastomosis surgery is the evaluation of the function of the bypass after surgery. Angiography remains the most accurate and reliable method of determining patency of an intracranial filling by the bypass; however, this procedure cannot be used frequently to check the status of the bypass. What is needed is a noninvasive test which can be used immediately after surgery and at several intervals in the postoperative and follow-up periods and which is highly accurate in establishing the patency and function of the bypass.
