  • Title: Luxury perfusion syndrome in cerebral vascular disease evaluated with technetium-99m HM-PAO.
    Author: Spreafico G, Cammelli F, Gadola G, Freschi R, Zancaner F.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1987 Mar; 12(3):217-8. PubMed ID: 3829552.
    Abstract:
    A recently developed Tc-99m radiocompound, hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (Tc-99m HM-PAO), exhibits favorable properties for regional cerebral blood flow study in man. The authors present a case of luxury perfusion syndrome observed in a 72-year-old patient with acute stroke and a right-sided hemiplegia, documented by planar scintigraphy and SPECT study in correlation with CT scan. The metabolic basis of this phenomenon is discussed and the usefulness of assessing regional brain perfusion by Tc-99m HM-PAO with conventional nuclear medicine equipment is underlined.
