A method for investigating the linearity between blood flow and distribution of 99mTc-HM-PAO uptake in patients undergoing single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is presented. This method, based on particular elaboration techniques of sequential multiple acquisitions, provides a local index: cumulative transit time (CTT) related to all factors, other than blood flow, affecting 99mTc-HM-PAO uptake. Because a correct qualitative blood flow estimation is based on the uniformity of the above factors, the occurrence of a change of this index indicates a nonlinear relation between blood flow and 99mTc-HM-PAO uptake distributions. It was shown that although linearity between blood flow and 99mTc-HM-PAO uptake may be questionable, a qualitative assessment of blood flow was correct in 100% of ischemic patients. In nonischemic patients this percentage fell to 60%.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
