Cerebral Blood Flow Studies Using N-Isopropyl 1-123 p-Iodoamphetamine

چکیده
Twenty patients with stroke were studied for cerebral blood perfusion abnormalities using N-isopropyl 1-123 p-iodoamphetamine (IMP) and rotating dual gamma camera emission computed tomography (ECT). After a single scan, multiple transverse, coronal and sagittal section images were reconstructed with a minicomputer. In eighteen patients, we determined the values of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in the region of interest using an image. Transmission computed tomography (CT) studies were also performed on the same day. ECT showed cerebral perfusion abnormalities in all cases, while CT showed abnormalities in only 10 cases. This technique seems to be useful for evaluating the rCBF in the deep brain. Stroke Vol 16, No 2, 1985

متن کاملAssessment of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in stroke using SPECT and N-isopropyl-(I-123)-p-iodoamphetamine (IMP).
In this study we assessed regional cerebral blood flow in patients with signs and symptoms of acute stroke using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and N-isopropyl I-123 p-iodoamphetamine (IMP). Twenty-five patients with acute cerebral infarction had both IMP brain perfusion studies and CT scans performed within one week of each other; 22 had positive and three had negative perf...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine utility of late N-isopropyl-p-(iodine-123)-iodoamphetamine distribution in predicting neurological and language outcome. METHODS We prospectively studied 29 patients with unilateral hemispheric ischemic cerebral infarction using the neuroimaging method of single-photon emission computed tomography and the above tracer. Four dif...
متن کاملQuantitative measurement of regional cerebrovascular reactivity to acetazolamide using 123I-N-isopropyl-p-iodoamphetamine autoradiography with SPECT: validation study using H2 15O with PET.
UNLABELLED A simplified technique using (123)I-N-isopropyl-p-iodoamphetamine ((123)I-IMP) autoradiography (ARG) with SPECT has been proposed recently for quantifying regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). To validate the accuracy of (123)I-IMP-ARG for quantifying regional cerebrovascular reactivity (rCVR) to acetazolamide, we compared rCVR determined using (123)I-IMP-ARG with that determined usin...
متن کاملQualitative versus quantitative assessment of cerebrovascular reactivity to acetazolamide using iodine-123-N-isopropyl-p-iodoamphetamine SPECT in patients with unilateral major cerebral artery occlusive disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Qualitative measurement of regional cerebrovascular reactivity (rCVR) to acetazolamide with single-photon emission CT (SPECT) has been widely used to determine the severity of hemodynamic impairment. We attempted to validate the accuracy of qualitative assessment by using SPECT to detect reduced rCVR compared with rCVR determined quantitatively in patients with unilateral...
