Applications of nitroimidazole in vivo hypoxia imaging in ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Nitroimidazole imaging is a promising contender for noninvasive in vivo mapping of brain hypoxia after stroke. However, there is a dearth of knowledge about the behavior of these compounds in the various pathophysiologic situations encountered in ischemic stroke. In this article we report the findings from a systematic review of the literature on the use of the nitroimida...
متن کاملdysphagia in acute ischemic stroke
Introduction: Swallowing dysfunction complicates acute strokes in 25-32% of cases and directly affects patientschr('39') prognosis and recovery. Dysphagia complicates the course of acute strokes through its potential of the development of chest infection, nutritional problems, and dehydration. Dysphagia is also an independent predictor of respiratory morbidity and mortality in acute stroke. In...
متن کاملImaging hypoxia using a nitroimidazole based T1 MR contrast agent
Introduction: Hypoxic regions in tumors are known to affect radiation sensitivity and promote development of metastases [1]. Noninvasive imaging based methods such as MRI are particularly suitable for longitudinal measurements and generation of three-dimensional spatial maps of tumor hypoxia [2]. An MRI method that could differentiate hypoxic versus normoxic tissues without relying on washout m...
متن کاملRadionuclide imaging in ischemic stroke.
Ischemic stroke is caused by interruption or significant impairment of blood supply to the brain, which leads to a cascade of metabolic and molecular alterations resulting in functional disturbance and morphologic damage. The changes in regional cerebral blood flow and regional metabolism can be assessed by radionuclide imaging, especially SPECT and PET. SPECT and PET have broadened our underst...
