Perfusion scanning using 99mTc-HMPAO detects early cerebrovascular changes in the diabetic rat
BACKGROUND 99mTc-HMPAO is a well-established isotope useful in the detection of regional cerebral blood flow. Diabetes gives rise to arterial atherosclerotic changes that can lead to significant end organ dysfunction, prominently affecting perfusion to the heart, kidneys, eyes and brain. In the current study, we investigated the role of 99mTc-HMPAO cerebral perfusion scans in detecting early va...
متن کاملCerebral perfusion changes in older delirious patients using 99mTc HMPAO SPECT.
BACKGROUND Prior studies describe variable cerebral blood flow changes in delirium. This study aims to investigate cerebral blood flow changes in older hospitalized patients with delirium, the population in which most cases of delirium occur. METHODS Participants included hospitalized general medical patients aged 65 years and older with documented delirium and no relevant medical conditions ...

متن کاملAttenuation correction in myocardial perfusion SPECT using sequential transmission - emission scanning with 99mTc [Persain]
Introduction: Nowadays, Imaging of the myocardial perfusion (MPI) using the single photon emission tomography (SPET) in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, especially myocardial ischemia, is of great importance. In contrast to the coronary artery angiography, MPI is non-invasive, less expensive and more physiological. Unfortunately, this image is affected by the some artifacts. Thes...
متن کامل99mTc-bicisate and 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT imaging in early spontaneous reperfusion of cerebral embolism.
Two patients with a cerebral embolism were evaluated by using both 99mTc-ethyl cysteinate dimer (ECD, or Bicisate) and 99mTc-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (HMPAO) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). In one patient, 99mTc-ECD SPECT images revealed hypoactivity in a reflow hyperemic area where an infarct was seen later on CT scans. In another patient, a reperfused area showed hyp...
