	abstract = {Cocaine abuse continues to be a major public health concern, with a variety of medical and neurologic sequelae. Previous studies have demonstrated abnormalities in cerebral perfusion in chronic cocaine abusers and after acute administration of cocaine. Although women are becoming increasingly represented among drug abusers, few studies have included women. To the authors{\textquoteright} knowledge, none has compared cerebral perfusion in asymptomatic women with that in men.},
