  • Title: Mismatch between iodine-123 IMP and technetium-99m HM-PAO brain perfusion imaging in a patient with meningioma.
    Author: Hoshi H, Jinnouchi S, Watanabe K, Nakano S, Kinoshita K.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1987 Sep; 12(9):737-40. PubMed ID: 3665318.
    Abstract:
    The discrepancy between three methods for cerebral perfusion imagings in the case of a man with meningioma is presented. Imaging with N-isopropyl-P-[I-123] iodoamphetamine (IMP) showed no activity in the tumor. Imaging with Tc-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (HM-PAO) and the local cerebral blood flow (LCBF) image with Xe-133 inhalation showed high tumor activity. IMP is a more accurate method for imaging the brain tissue blood flow.
