"Vascular" cerebral infarctions demonstrated by serial gamma-camera scinti photography. 1976

W J McKay, and J T Andrews, and K S Mathur

The apparently paradoxical appearance of increased vascularity appearing in the radionuclide angiographic studies of a patient with cerebral infarction has recently been described and attributed to the "luxury perfusion syndrome". It is suggested that this phenomenon occurs more frequently than previously thought and in fact has been observed in nine patients presenting for a cerebral scan during a ten-month period. These cases are reviewed and an alternative explanation for the occurrence of increased vascularity on the dynamic study is submitted.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
