European Association of Nuclear Medicine procedure guidelines for brain perfusion SPET using (99m)Tc-labelled radiopharmaceuticals.
نویسندگان
چکیده
These guidelines summarize the views of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine Neuroimaging Committee (ENC). The purpose of the guidelines is to assist nuclear medicine practitioners in recommending, performing, interpreting, and reporting the results of brain perfusion SPET studies using Tc-labelled radiopharmaceuticals. The aim is to achieve a high quality standard of brain perfusion SPET imaging, which can increase the diagnostic impact of this technique in neurological and psychiatric practice.

Comparison of Different Quantitative Methods and Visual Evaluation on the Tc-99m-HMPAO Brain Perfusion SPET
Objectives Brain perfusion SPECT has been widely used for evaluation of brain perfusion and metabolic status. We aimed to compare different quantitative methods on Tc-99m-HMPAO SPET based on visual evaluation. Materials and Methods: Forty-seven patients were enrolled in this comparative study. Tc-99m-HMPAO brain SPET was performed. For semiquantitative analysis, two orbitomeatal (OM) composite ...
متن کاملCorrelation of myocardial Tc 99m-MIBI perfusion SPECT with coronary angiography in Namazi Hospital/Shiraz/Iran [Persian]
Coronary heart disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death specially among elderly. Coronary angiography is the best diagnostic method in the patients, but is unfortunately an invasive procedure with its inherent risks. Myocardial perfusion scan is a noninvasive and sensitive method for evaluation of CAD and is suggested by many investigators in recent years. In this study, 64 patients wh...
متن کاملSPET brain scan with (99m)Tc-ECD and CT, MRI in traumatic brain injury with chronic symptoms.
74-76 we would like to note the importance of single photon emission tomography (SPET) as a diagnostic tool of nuclear medicine, often better than other anatomical modalities. Anatomical imaging methods , especially computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are helpful in the diagnosis of acute traumatic brain injuries (ATBI) [1]; however they are not as efficient as SPE...
متن کاملTc-99m-MIBI in evaluation of myocardial perfusion [Persian]
Tc-99m-MIBI is an isonrtrile derivative used for evaluation of myocardial perfusion in recent years. In this preliminary report, 7 patients with coronary artery disease are evaluated with Tc-99m-MlBl stress planar and sped studies. Good correlation with coronary angiography is observed in these cases. In view of inherent technical problems present with thallium 201, Tc-99m-MIBi is a good ...
