[Clinical evaluation of SPECT in cerebrovascular disease].
In 131 patients with cerebrovascular disease, regional cerebral blood flow was determined by 123I-IMP (N-isopropyl (123I)-iodoamphetamine) or 99mTc-HM-PAO (99mTc (d, l)-hexamethyl propyleneamine oxime) SPECT and findings were compared with those of X-CT or MRI. The perfusion deficit detected by SPECT was larger than the deficit by X-CT or MRI in every cases. The perfusion deficit area was more clearly demonstrated by SPECT than by X-CT or MRI in patients with acute cerebral infarction. The hypoperfusion area determined by 123I-IMP SPECT was wider than that by 99mTc-HM-PAO SPECT. The crossed cerebellar diaschisis was observed in 56 out of 131 cases (43%). The results of operation were quantitatively evaluated by 123I-IMP SPECT in 25 patients.
