Brain SPECT imaging with Tc-99m HM-PAO in Creutzfeld-Jakob disease.
A Tc-99m HM-PAO brain SPECT study of a patient with biopsy-proven Creutzfeld-Jakob disease demonstrated perfusion defects in the left frontal and right temporoparietal areas. A brain CT was normal. The clinical potential of this imaging modality in the evaluation of dementia is discussed.
