This study is to longitudinal follow up the perfusion change after intracranial stem cell implantation in chronic stroke patient. Our preliminary result shows temporally increase cerebral blood flow and volume which then decrease and are lower than the baselines in the long-term follow up. The perfusion change is earlier than the clinical neurologic symptoms improvement which began from the 3months after stem cell implantation.
