Regional Cerebral Blood Flow and Distribution of [Tc] Ethyl Cysteinate Dimer in Nonhuman Primates
Increases in regional cerebral blood flow have been described in a variety of cerebral pathologic states, including stroke and seizure disorders. The usefulness of technetium-99m-labeled cysteinate dimer as a marker in the measurement of regional cerebral blood flow was tested in five cynomolgus monkeys. To expand the range of blood flow to beyond the normal limits, 40 mg/kg i.v. of the carboni...
متن کاملTechnetium Tc-99m ethyl cysteinate dimer brain single-photon emission CT in mild traumatic brain injury: a prospective study.
PURPOSE To explore the role of single-photon emission CT (SPECT) in initial diagnostic evaluation of patients with mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) and to identify subgroups in which it may serve as a useful diagnostic tool. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with MTBI seen during a 14-month period were prospectively included in this study. All patients had a CT of head within 12 hours of injur...
متن کامل99m technetium-ethyl-cysteinate-dimer single-photon emission CT can predict fatal ischemic brain edema.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to study the prognostic value of early 99mtechnetium-ethyl-cysteinate-dimer single-photon emission CT (99mTc-ECD SPECT) for fatal ischemic brain edema in patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke compared with the prognostic value of CT and of clinical findings. METHODS We prospectively studied 108 patients clinically, with 99mTc-ECD SPECT, and with CT...
متن کاملUsefulness of an Automatic Quantitative Method for Measuring Regional Cerebral Blood Flow Using 99mTc Ethyl Cysteinate Dimer Brain Uptake Ratio
Objective(s): Improved brain uptake ratio (IBUR), employing 99mTc-ethyl cysteinate dimer (99mTc-ECD), is an automatic non-invasive method for quantitatively measuring regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). This method was developed by the reconstruction of the theory and linear regression equation, based on rCBF measurement by H215O positron emission tomography. Clarification of differences in r...
