An O-15-labeled water ((H2O)-O-15) steady-state method for quantitative measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF), which is less stressful to small animals with a few point blood sampling, was developed. After a simulation using a dose meter to achieve stable (H2O)-O-15 radioactivity in the blood with a multiprogramming syringe pump programmed for slowly increasing injection volume, 10 rats were studied with the injection method. Arterial blood was sampled every minute during 6-minute positron emission tomography (PET) scans. After the PET scan, N-isopropyl-p-[I-125]-iodoamphetamine (I-125-IMP) was injected into the same rat to measure CBF using the autoradiography method based on a microsphere model. Regions of interest were placed on the whole brain in (H2O)-O-15-PET and I-125-IMP-autoradiography images, and CBF values calculated from both methods were compared. Radioactivity in the dose meter achieved equilibrium similar to 1 minute after starting the (H2O)-O-15 injection. In rat studies, radioactivity in the blood and brain rapidly achieved equilibrium at 2 minutes after administration. The correlation of CBF values of (H2O)-O-15 PET (49.2 +/- 5.4mL per 100 g per minute) and those of 125I-IMP autoradiography (49.1 +/- 5.2mL per 100 g per minute) was excellent (y = 1.01x-0.37, r(2) = 0.97). The (H2O)-O-15 steady-state method with a continuously increasing injection is useful for CBF measurement in small animal studies, especially when multiple scans are required in the same animal.
