Cerebral hypoxic injury detected by Tc-HMPAO SPECT

Single photon emission computed tomography of the brain with Tc-99m labeled hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime was used to evaluate a patient who suffered hypoxic cerebral injury. Hypoperfusion in the right parieto-occipital and left occipital regions was demonstrated on the SPECT images, while both the cranial CT and EEG failed to document the findings.
