[Single-photon emission-computed tomography with the Testascan multidetector gamma tomograph in neurologic practice].

The paper is concerned with the results of single-photon emission tomography and gamma-topography in patients with cerebral tumors, cerebral circulatory disorders and pathology of the liquor system. Tomographic investigation was shown to enhance the accuracy and reliability of the detection of cerebral tumors. Single-photon emission computerized gamma-tomography (SPECT) permitted the detection of structural and morphological cerebral changes in disturbed cerebral circulation of various etiology. SPECT together with computerized tomography and radionuclide cisternography was shown to be an auxiliary method for visualization of the cerebral cisterns. Radionuclide tomographic images as compared to gamma-topographic findings of the brain possessed a high statistical significance and good resolution.

[Single-photon emission-computed tomography of the head using labelled amines in visualizing the cerebral microcirculation].

The authors presented clinical material on cerebral hemodynamics in patients with neurological pathology in suspected tumor vascular cerebral diseases and craniocerebral traumas. Investigation of cerebral microcirculation was performed using a multidetector single-photon emission tomograph "Testoscan" (USSR) after iv administration of 99mTc-hexamethylpropilene-amyloxine. This radiopharmaceutical is good for the evaluation of cerebral perfusion and gives a clinician rich information on cerebral microcirculation.

[The TESTASCAN single-photon emission multidetector computed gamma tomograph].

A TESTASCAN single-photon emission multidetector gamma tomograph is a special purpose unit designed to investigate RP distribution in the brain. It permits obtaining transversal tomographic images with the resolution of about 10 mm, the thickness of an emitted layer being about 15 mm. The time of patient's examination during obtaining an image of 10-12 layers does not exceed 30 min. and can be reduced by increasing RP activity and minimizing the number of emitted transversal sections. The clinical testing of the unit has shown that it is reliable in maintenance and simple to operate during radionuclide data collection, reproduction and analysis. Emission computerized tomography in brain tumors can be regarded as a method increasing the accuracy and reliability of radionuclide diagnostic examination of neurosurgical and neurological patients.

[Radioanatomy of cerebral perfusion in single-photon emission-computed tomography using 99mTc-labelled amines].

A study was made of the cerebral hemodynamics by assessing the distribution in single-photon emission computerized tomography with 99mTc-hexamethyl-propyleneminoxyne in health using a Testascan in 9 standard slices. The whole set of tomographic slices was conventionally divided into 3 levels. For better orientation in gamma-tomographic images, pictures were presented where in addition to scintigrams a morphological scheme of the cerebral parts with the marked parts perfused by cerebral arteries, was given.

[Value of 99m-pyrophosphate myocardial scanning and scintigraphy in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction].

Visualization of the myocardial necrotic focus with the aid of 99mTc -pyrophosphate is an informative method of determining the infarction degree and localization in the cardiac muscle. Scanning enables evaluation of the area of the necrotic focus in patients with acute myocardial infarction within two weeks of the disease onset. Scintigraphy with both the diffuse and the focal variants of isotope accumulation is shown to be of high diagnostic value in acute myocardial infarction. The specificity and sensitivity of scintigraphy are 87% and 96%, respectively.

[Comparative evaluation of the diagnostic possibilities of radioisotope angiography and rheoencephalography in patients with vascular diseases of the brain].

Forty-one patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy complicated by a transient impairment of the cerebral circulation were examined in a neurological department. A comparative analysis of the findings obtained during comprehensive study of the cerebral circulation showed that in the overwhelming majority of cases (37 out of 41), the results of isotope angiography and rheography coincided and corresponded to the clinical findings. To a certain degree these methods complemented each other: rheoencephalography was more informative in the diagnosis of cerebral atherosclerosis and essential hypertension while radioisotope angiography allowed a more accurate determination of the area affected.
