Description:

Swedish neuroscientist David H. Ingvar, MD, PhD (1924-2000) was a pioneer in cerebral blood flow studies in humans. In the late 1950s, he and Niels Lassen used radioactive krypton and xenon isotopes to track CBF with external detectors. In this letter, Sokoloff discussed the criticisms made of the deoxyglucose method by Veech and Huang, and included scathing commentary on his critics and their scientific methods.
