Intraarterial thrombolytic therapy has been used recently for treatment of acute ischemic
stroke within 6 h after onset. Although hypoactivity of 99mTc-hexamethylpropyleneamine …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The brain distribution of 99mTc-
hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (HMPAO) correlates with regional brain perfusion …

Background To reliably identify patients at risk for symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation
(SHT), future trials of thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke might use a vascular imaging …

By means of positron emission tomography (PET), we investigated the hemodynamic and
metabolic state of the hyperfixation identified as the increased accumulation with 99m Tc-d, l …

OBJECTIVE Little is known about the effect of spontaneous reperfusion of human cerebral
infarcts. Single photon emission computerised tomography (SPECT) data were analysed …

Thrombolytic therapy was carried out on patients with acute ischemic stroke, and the risk of
hemorrhagic transformation was evaluated from the residual cerebral blood flow (CBF) by …

Shintani and colleagues (1) describe four cases of cerebral infarction in which single-photon
emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging of cerebral perfusion was performed …

Three patients with subacute ischemic cerebral infarction examined by SPECT with 99m Tc-
ECD and PET within the same day showed signs of luxury perfusion in the subacute phase …

A new cerebral blood flow agent, 99 Tc m-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (HM-PAO),
was evaluated for early detection of acute cerebral infarction in conjunction with the …
