The article contains modern data review of a brain perfusion on extra- and intracranial levels during occlusion diseases of brachiocephalic arteries. In patients with brain ischemia there were described the possibilities of assessing the level of perfusion by noninvasive methods: single-proton emission computed tomography with 99mTc-HMPAO and ultrasound diagnostic methods with functional loading tests.
