The sensitivity of rCBF SPECT increased from 62\% to 77\% after acetazolamide provocation in stroke patients. In patients with a reversible neurological deficit, the sensitivity under resting conditions was 50\% which increased to 71\%, while in cases with a permanent deficit it increased from 75\% to 83\%. In the evaluation of the cerebrovascular reserve capacity the results of rCBF SPECT and TCD coincided in 91\% of the hemispheres. The correlation was statistically significant.}, isbn = {0029-5566}, author = {L{\'a}szl{\'o} P{\'a}vics and F Gr{\"u}nwald and P{\'a}l Barz{\'o} and Edit Ambrus and C Menzel and A Schomburg and L Borda and E{\"o}rs M{\'a}t{\'e} and Mih{\'a}ly Bodosi and L{\'a}szl{\'o} Csernay and H J Biersack} }
