A comparative study of perfusion CT and <sup>99m</sup>Tc-Hmpao spect measurement to assess cerebrovascular reserve capacity in patients with internal carotid artery occlusion

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background and purpose</p> <p>Patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion can demonstrate impaired cerebral vascular reserve (CVR). The detection of CVR using single photon emission CT (SPECT) is nowadays widely accepted as a predictor in th...
