Brain perfusion SPECT in a cerebellar infarction.

Brain perfusion single photon emission CT (SPECT) has been used effectively in the evaluation of neurological diseases including stroke. Recently the introduction of annular special purpose systems has resulted in substantially improved spatial resolution. High resolution SPECT allows us to look accurately at the functional abnormalities resulting from small structural defects. We present a case of infarction in the territory of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery which illustrates the utility of this method.

CT and MRI of mycotic aneurysms of the abdominal aorta.

In two of three patients with mycotic aneurysms of the abdominal aorta, diagnosis was delayed, with a fatal outcome in one patient. A combination of studies, such as indium white blood cell scanning, and anatomical imaging modalities, such as CT and MRI, may be necessary to arrive at the correct diagnosis.
