Brain perfusion impairment in neurologically asymptomatic adult patients with Sickle-Cell Disease shown by voxel-based analysis of SPECT images

Brain perfusion impairment in neurologically asymptomatic adult patients with Sickle-Cell Disease shown by voxel-based analysis of SPECT images

Cerebrovascular lesions are frequently observed in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and these structural lesions are preceded by insidious perfusion deficits. Our aim was to investigate the presence of brain perfusion deficits in neurologically asymptomatic SCD patients, especially affecting...
