Change of accumulation and filling pattern in evolution of cerebral infarction with I-123 IMP brain SPECT
Twenty-eight patients with cerebral infarction were examined by brain SPECT with I-123 IMP a total of 46 times from Day 2 to Day 84 after the onset of stroke. Depending on the pattern of change in the abnormal...

Does the washout phenomenon of Tc-99m HM-PAO correlate to the “Filling-in” phenomenon of I-123 IMP with brain SPECT?
Using SPECT, the time course of brain uptake was compared between N-isopropyl-p-[I-123]-iodoamphetamine (I-123 IMP) and Tc-99m d,l hexamethyl-propyleneamine oxime (Tc-99m HM-PAO). Of 14 patients with cerebrova...

Two patients with meningioma visualized as high uptake by SPECT with N-isopropyl-p-iodo-amphetamine (I-123)
It has been reported that brain tumors show decreased IMP uptake, however, we encountered two cases of meningioma which had initially increased IMP uptake. SPECT was performed at 30 min, 2 hr and 6 hr after in...

Attenuation values of chronic subdural haematoma and subdural effusion in CT scans
When peripheral blood is serially diluted with saline solution, the bloody colour is determined by the derivative of haemoglobin. Solutions over 105/mm3 red cells or 0.5 g/dl haemoglobin are represented as being ...
