The modern 133(Xe) inhalational method of regional blood flow evaluation is described first in the Soviet literature. Examples of brain blood flow studied in patients with brain vascular diseases are reviewed. The data obtained illustrate the method possibilities in diagnostical and clinical problems as well as in problems of affected brain regions blood supply and function accordance. The use of a safe method with 133(Xe) in regional brain blood supply study will help solving hemodynamic and brain function problems in health and disease.
