چکیده
Chronic cerebral ischaemia (CCI) is a potentially life-threatening condition caused by carotid artery occlusion, hypotension and other causes. Moyamoya Syndrome (MMS) an example of CCI, in which there progressive narrowing the branches internal artery. Conventionally, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) or digital subtraction angiogram (DSA) are utilised to visualise vascular abnormalities. However, nuclear medicine imaging can help give more functional information that improve management surgical outcome patients. There need highlight role single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) using 99mTc-Ethyl Cysteinate Dimer (99mTc-ECD) with Acetazolamide (ACZ) challenge diagnose MMS decide on further medical intervention. We illustrate case young woman who benefited from this for her condition.

Usefulness of an Automatic Quantitative Method for Measuring Regional Cerebral Blood Flow Using 99mTc Ethyl Cysteinate Dimer Brain Uptake Ratio
Objective(s): Improved brain uptake ratio (IBUR), employing 99mTc-ethyl cysteinate dimer (99mTc-ECD), is an automatic non-invasive method for quantitatively measuring regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). This method was developed by the reconstruction of the theory and linear regression equation, based on rCBF measurement by H215O positron emission tomography. Clarification of differences in r...

OBJECTIVES Improved brain uptake ratio (IBUR), employing (99m)Tc-ethyl cysteinate dimer ((99m)Tc-ECD), is an automatic non-invasive method for quantitatively measuring regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). This method was developed by the reconstruction of the theory and linear regression equation, based on rCBF measurement by H2 (15)O positron emission tomography. Clarification of differences i...
متن کاملRegional brain perfusion in 12 cats measured with technetium-99m-ethyl cysteinate dimer pinhole single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
With the use of perfusion tracers, in vivo examination of the regional cerebral blood flow in cats can be performed with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Reliable perfusion data of normal, healthy cats are necessary for future clinical studies or other research use. Therefore, this dataset of the regional perfusion pattern of the normal feline brain was created. Twelve cats w...
متن کاملBrain SPECT imaging with acetazolamide challenge.
The patient was a 69-y-old man who, 37 d earlier, had a 4-d-long evolving onset of headache, dizziness, acute personality changes, visual changes, and weakness. Unspecified imaging was obtained at an outside facility, and he was diagnosed with an intracerebral stenosis. Subsequently, he was given aspirin and clopidogrel (Plavix; Bristol-Myers Squibb/Sanofi Pharmaceuticals Partnership) and told ...
متن کاملRegional cerebral blood flow and distribution of [99mTc]ethyl cysteinate dimer in nonhuman primates.
Increases in regional cerebral blood flow have been described in a variety of cerebral pathologic states, including stroke and seizure disorders. The usefulness of technetium-99m-labeled cysteinate dimer as a marker in the measurement of regional cerebral blood flow was tested in five cynomolgus monkeys. To expand the range of blood flow to beyond the normal limits, 40 mg/kg i.v. of the carboni...
