  • Title: SPECT diagnosis of Creutzfeld-Jacob disease.
    Author: Aharon-Peretz J, Peretz A, Hemli JA, Honigman S, Israel O.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1995 Apr; 36(4):616-7. PubMed ID: 7699453.
    Abstract:
    SPECT with 99mTc-HMPAO was performed on a 65-yr-old patient with Creutzfeld-Jacob disease. Cerebral blood flow was heterogeneously decreased throughout the brain, differing from the pattern observed in other common types of dementia. These results suggest that HMPAO-SPECT may provide useful information in the differential diagnosis of dementia, specifically when Creutzfeld-Jacob disease is suspected.
