چکیده

A patient with acute dementia underwent imaging of the brain with technetium-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime single-photon emission computed tomography. Regional perfusion abnormalities were identified in multiple locations, particularly in the left frontal lobe. This information was used to direct an open brain biopsy, which led to a diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease.

The 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...

Imaging of Clot by 99mTc-HMPAO Labeled Platelet in Animal Model Induced Thrombosis

99mTc-HMPAO labeled platelet (LP) imaging may integrate thrombosis imaging into routine clinical procedures. In the current study, we assessed the feasibility of the use of 99mTc-HMPAO LP for imaging of small clots in an animal model. Thrombosis was induced by application of FeCl3 solution in the distal part of the inferior vena cava (IVC) of a 6100 g anesthetiz...

Increased uptake of technetium-99m-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime related to primary leptomeningeal melanoma.

We present an autopsy case of primary leptomeningeal melanoma visualized with technetium-99m-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (Tc-99m-HMPAO) single photon emission CT (SPECT) of the brain. Increased uptake of Tc-99m-HMPAO coincided with leptomeningeal enhancement on MR images and with the tumor location of the autopsy findings. It was thought that Tc-99m-HMPAO could correlate closely with melanom...
