The first data acquisition method for Tc-99m hexamethylpropyleneamineoxime (Tc-99m HMPAO) brain SPECT was used in two patients with acute stroke 5 and 8 hours after the event. In one patient Tc-99m HMPAO fast SPECT showed perfusion defects before the same was manifested on CT. In the other patient, Tc-99m HMPAO fast SPECT showed larger defects than the edema seen on CT. The Tc-99m HMPAO fast SPECT might be feasible for the evaluation of acute stroke patients. Since the time required for fast SPECT is much shorter than usual SPECT, it appears to be more suitable for some patients with acute stroke who are brought to the hospital in a very critical condition.
锝 - 99m六甲基丙烯胺肟(Tc - 99m HMPAO)脑单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)的第一种数据采集方法应用于2例急性卒中患者,分别在发病后5小时和8小时进行。其中1例患者,Tc - 99m HMPAO快速SPECT显示灌注缺损,而CT上相同表现出现较晚。另一例患者,Tc - 99m HMPAO快速SPECT显示的缺损大于CT上所见的水肿范围。Tc - 99m HMPAO快速SPECT可能适用于急性卒中患者的评估。由于快速SPECT所需时间比常规SPECT短得多,它似乎更适合一些病情非常危急而被送往医院的急性卒中患者。
