Permanent Cortical Damage Detected by Flumazenil Positron Emission Tomography in Acute Stroke
Stroke 29:454-461, Heiss,W.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
These results demonstrate that permanently and irreversibly damaged cortex can be detected by reduced FMZ binding early after stroke.Since FMZ distribution additionally images regional cerebral perfusion,BZR radioligands have a potential as clinically useful tracers in patients with acute ischemic stroke.The evidence of tissue damage furnished by these tracers might be of relevance for the selection of individual therapeutic strategies.
