Abstract
Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with 99mtechnetium-hexamethylpropylamineoxime (HMPAO) noninvasively shows brain perfusion in patients after acute stroke. However, the clinical significance of the increased HMPAO uptake remains unclear. In this study, consecutive patients with hemi …
