This study, performed in 94 consecutive patients referred for evaluation, demonstrates the clinical utility of cerebral SPECT imaging. In a significant percentage of patients (47%), the additional information provided by SPECT resulted in an alteration in clinical management. Long-term follow-up will be necessary to determine the effect of these management decisions on patient outcome.
这项针对94例连续转诊接受评估的患者进行的研究，证实了脑单光子发射计算机断层扫描（SPECT）成像的临床实用性。在相当比例的患者（47%）中，SPECT提供的额外信息导致了临床管理的改变。需要进行长期随访以确定这些管理决策对患者预后的影响。
