Abstract

A new iterative strategy for determination of the source distribution in single-photon emission tomography (SPECT) simulates mathematically the scintigraphic imaging process during direction sum computation. Limited spatial resolution and gamma-ray attenuation are taken into account using simplifying approximations. Highly resolved low-noise tomograms without obvious artifacts are obtained. Results of phantom measurements as well as cases of thyroid and brain perfusion imaging are presented to demonstrate the capabilities of the method.

Role of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography in evaluation of patients with cerebrovascular disease.

Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) is the only noninvasive examination method that enables the reliable evaluation of blood flow from the basal intracerebral vessels, adding physiologic information to the anatomic images. TCD is relatively inexpensive, can be performed at bedside, and allows monitoring in acute emergency settings and for prolonged periods with a high temporal resolution, making it ideal for studying dynamic cerebrovascular responses. In acute stroke, TCD is capable of providing rapid information about the hemodynamic status of the cerebral circulation and monitoring recanalization in real-time, with a potential for enhancing tissue plasminogen activator-induced thrombolysis. Extended applications such as emboli monitoring, right-to-left shunt detection, and vasomotor reactivity make TCD an important and valuable tool for evaluating stroke mechanisms, planning and monitoring treatment, and determining prognosis.
