Cerebral 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 کاملThe diagnostic difference between 18F- FDG PET and 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT perfusion imaging in assessment of Alzheimer's disease
Introduction:Brain imaging with F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography or Tc-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (99mTc-HMPAO) SPECT is widely used for the evaluation of Alzheimer's dementia (AD); we aim to assess superiority of one method over the other. Methods: Twenty four patients with clinical diagnosi...
متن کاملBrain single-photon emission CT studies using 99mTc-HMPAO and 99mTc-ECD early after recanalization by local intraarterial thrombolysis in patients with acute embolic middle cerebral artery occlusion.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The brain distribution of 9mTc-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (HMPAO) correlates with regional brain perfusion, whereas 99mTc-ethyl cysteinate dimer (ECD) reflects not only perfusion but also the metabolic status of brain tissue. We compared 99mTc-ECD single-photon emission CT (SPECT) with 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT early after recanalization by local intraarterial thrombolysis (L...
متن کاملImproved detection of cerebral hypoperfusion with internal carotid balloon test occlusion and 99mTc-HMPAO cerebral perfusion SPECT imaging.
A new method that employs a cerebral perfusion imaging agent, 99mTc-HMPAO, is described for identifying those patients who clinically pass an internal carotid artery balloon test occlusion but who then may develop a cerebral infarction after permanent occlusion. Test balloon occlusion of the internal carotid artery was performed in 17 patients, and 99mTc-HMPAO was injected intravenously while t...
متن کاملA clinical role for 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT in the investigation of dementia?
OBJECTIVES To provide the clinician with a guide to the clinical utility of 99mTc-HMPAO single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and to the interpretation of specific test results in the differential diagnosis of dementia. METHODS Three hundred and sixty three patients with dementia were studied prospectively for a median three (range 1-6) years and classified into disease groups on...
