Abstract

Differential spinal cord blood flow was measured in dogs by the radioactive microsphere injection method. The mean spinal cord blood flow was 10.8 +/- 0.53 (SE) ml/100 g/minute. The flow values for the white and gray matter were 7.1 +/- 0.65 (SE) and 26.3 +/- 2.2 (SE) ml/100 g/minute, respectively.
