Evaluation of regional cerebral blood flow with 99mTc-d, 1 HM-PAO and SPECT.
The imaging of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) by 99mTc-d, 1 HM-PAO and SPECT is described. Its relevance to clinical syndromes, such as stroke, transient ischemic attacks, various forms of dementia, epilepsy, and subarachnoid hemorrhage, is reported.
