Hypoperfusion and ischemia in cerebral amyloid angiopathy documented by 99mTc-ECD brain perfusion SPECT.
UNLABELLED Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is known to be an important cause of spontaneous cortical-subcortical intracranial hemorrhage in normotensive older persons. CAA can also manifest as leukoencephalopathy, brain atrophy, and ischemia secondary to hypoperfusion. Our goal was to verify cerebral hypoperfusion in patients with CAA using (99m)Tc-ethylcysteinate dimer ((99m)Tc-ECD) brain pe...
متن کاملNeuroGam Software Analysis in Epilepsy Diagnosis Using 99mTc-ECD Brain Perfusion SPECT Imaging
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to explore the value of NeuroGam software in diagnosis of epilepsy by 99Tcm-ethyl cysteinate dimer (ECD) brain imaging. MATERIAL AND METHODS NeuroGam was used to analyze 52 cases of clinically proven epilepsy by 99Tcm-ECD brain imaging. The results were compared with EEG and MRI, and the positive rates and localization to epileptic foci were analyzed. RESULT...
متن کامل99mTc-ECD brain perfusion SPECT imaging for the assessment of brain perfusion in cerebral palsy (CP) patients with evaluation of the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
OBJECTIVE The present study was carried out to evaluate cerebral perfusion in different types of cerebral palsy (CP) patients. For those patients who underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy, brain perfusion before and after the therapy was compared. METHODS A total of 11 CP patients were enrolled in this study, of which 4 patients underwent oxygen therapy. Before oxygen therapy and at the end of ...
متن کاملThe prognostic value of stress/rest gated myocardial perfusion SPECT in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease
Introduction:Gated myocardial perfusion SPECT has diagnostic and prognostic values in coronary artery disease (CAD). We tried to determine prognostic values of the left ventricular perfusion & functional indices as well as transient left ventricular dilation (TID) derived from gated myocardial perfusion SPECT. Methods: 1820patients who underwent gated myo...
متن کاملPrognostic value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance stress perfusion imaging in patients with atrial fibrillation
Methods 130 consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation referred for perfusion stress CMR using either adenosine or regadenoson were followed for hard cardiovascular events defined as cardiac death or non-fatal myocardial infarction (MACE). Ischemia was defined as new onset of perfusion defects in at least two myocardial segments (positive test). Multivariable Cox regressions for MACE were pe...
