  • Title: Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT imaging of the central nervous system in tuberous sclerosis.
    Author: Sieg KG, Harty JR, Simmons M, Preston DF, Erickson HM.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1991 Sep; 16(9):665-7. PubMed ID: 1934829.
    Abstract:
    Tc-99m HMPAO was used to evaluate cerebral perfusion in a patient with tuberous sclerosis. The SPECT images demonstrated reduced HMPAO uptake in regions corresponding with MRI-confirmed locations of cortical tubers. These results indicate that the lesions are characterized by vascular perfusion deficits and support the hypothesis that cortical tubers result from developmental abnormalities of the embryonic central nervous system.
