This guideline details brain perfusion imaging using SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) technique. It offers practical advice on indications, procedures, and interpreting findings for medical professionals.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Nuclear Medicine

Background:

  • The Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF) developed a guideline for brain perfusion imaging.
  • Current clinical practice requires standardized protocols for accurate diagnostic interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide practical guidance on the indication, examination, and interpretation of brain perfusion SPECT.
  • To reflect the current state-of-the-art in brain perfusion imaging techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Guideline development based on current scientific knowledge and clinical expertise.
  • Detailed description of patient preparation, tracer handling, and quality control.
  • Technical aspects of image acquisition using gamma cameras and image processing.
