PURPOSE AND METHODS The noninvasive microsphere (NIMS) method quantifies cerebral blood flow with N-isopropyl-p-[123I]-iodoamphetamine (123I-IMP) without blood sampling of a patient, but when a fan beam collimator is used for collecting raw data in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), the procedure is complicated because we have to change the collimator. In phantom and clinical studies we investigated the validity of using a fan beam collimator in collecting planar and SPECT raw data. RESULTS The phantom study suggested that using a fan beam collimator for planar imaging was feasible because of the image magnification rate and the count rate. Mean cerebral blood flow (mCBF) values obtained by the NIMS method with the fan beam collimator were compared with mCBF simultaneously estimated from the conventional continuous arterial blood sampling (microsphere: MS) method in twenty patients with ischemic cerebral vascular diseases. There was good correlation (y = 1.033x + 8.004, r2 = 0.729, p < 0.01) in mCBF between the fan beam NIMS method and the MS method. CONCLUSION In conclusion, this method for the measurement of CBF was acceptable for routine clinical studies.

Measurement of regional cerebral blood flow with 123I-IMP using one-point venous blood sampling and causality analysis: evaluation by comparison with conventional continuous arterial blood sampling.

OBJECTIVE Arterial input function represents the delivery of intravascular tracer to the brain. The optimal setting of this function is essential for measuring regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) based on the microsphere model using N-isopropyl-4-[123I]iodoamphetamine (123I-IMP), in which the arterial 123I-IMP concentration (integral value) during the initial 5 min is usually applied. We develo...

A simple non-invasive I-123-IMP autoradiography method developed by modifying the simple non-invasive I-123-IMP microsphere method

Objective: We developed a simple non-invasive I-123-N-isopropyl-p-iodoamphetamine (123I-IMP) quantification method by analyzing chest RI-angiography and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images based on the microsphere model (SIMS method). Theoretically, the SIMS method could be changed to the simple non-invasive ARG (SIARG) method by modifying the integrated washout ratio (WR)...

Quantitative Assessment of Cerebral Blood Flow Measure- ment Using the Microsphere Model with N-isopropyl-p-[123I] iodoamphetamine SPECT: Simulation Analysis for the Influence of Washout from Brain Tissue

The microsphere model and the continuous withdrawal of arterial blood have been commonly used in clinical studies when measuring regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) by N-isopropyl-p[123I]iodoamphetamine (IMP) SPECT. The method is considered to underestimate rCBF because of the washout of the tracer from brain tissue with increasing time after injection; however, the extent of this underestimati...

Double-injection method for sequentially measuring cerebral blood flow with N-isopropyl-(123I)p-iodoamphetamine.

We investigated the accuracy of a double-injection method for sequentially measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF) with N-isopropyl-(123I)p-iodoamphetamine (IMP) in simulation studies based on patient data and in clinical studies. The unidirectional clearance of IMP from the blood to the brain (K1; nearly equal to CBF) in the first and second sessions was calculated by means of a microsphere model....
