Detection of Inter-hemispheric Asymmetries of Brain Perfusion in SPECT
Technetium-99m HMPAO and technetium-99m ECD single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging is commonly used to highlight brain regions with altered perfusion. It is particularly useful in the investigation of intractable partial epilepsy. However, SPECT suffers from poor spatial resolution that makes interpretation difficult. In this context, we propose an unsupervised voxel neighbo...
متن کاملHemispheric asymmetries: A brain in two minds
The two cerebral hemispheres are specialised for different cognitive functions, and which hemisphere's strategy is superior depends on the nature of the task. A new study of split-brain patients has provided another unexpected insight: the two hemispheres use different strategies when performing a guessing task.
متن کاملDetection of inter-hemispheric metabolic asymmetries in FDG-PET images using prior anatomical information
[(18)F] FDG positron emission tomography (PET) is commonly used to highlight brain regions with abnormal metabolism. Correct interpretation of FDG images is important for investigation of diseases. When the FDG uptake is compared between hemispheres, confusion can arise because it might be difficult to determine whether an observed asymmetry is physiological and due to normal anatomical variati...
متن کاملThe pattern of brain perfusion SPECT in non-medicated schizophrenic patients
Introduction: Studies with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) have revealed inconsistent changes of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in schizophrenia. Some studies investigated the rCBF and its relationship with psychopathology, positive and negative symptoms in treated patients. However, there is a little information about the pattern of rCBF in ...
متن کاملHemispheric asymmetries of cortical volume in the human brain.
Hemispheric asymmetry represents a cardinal feature of cerebral organization, but the nature of structural and functional differences between the hemispheres is far from fully understood. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging morphometry, we identified several volumetric differences between the two hemispheres of the human brain. Heteromodal inferoparietal and lateral prefrontal cortices are more ex...
