Abstract
|
|
|
This study was performed in order to compare the functional imaging by 99mTc-HMPAO brain SPECT with structural neuroimaging by CT or MRl. Eighteen patients with diffuse axonal injury underwent HMPAO brain SPECT (18). CT(9). and MRI (14). and
neurological status were then evaluated Seventeen patients (94%) were revealed abnormal SPECT whereas nine patients (50%) demonstrated abnormal CT compared with ten patients (71%) demonstrated abnormal MRI. The neurological deficits correlated
well
with
abnormal SPECT lesion except in one case. It is therefore concluded that brain perfusion SPECT is not only more sensitive than CT or MRI. it is also more cost effective and clinically well correiated in diffuse axonal injury patient.
