Demonstration of decreased functional activity of visual cortex by [11 C]methylglucose and positron emission
Neuroradiology
|January 1, 1982
Abstract:
A hemorrhagic infarction which caused left hemiparesis and homonymous hemianopia was demonstrated as a hypodense lesion on the first CT; 2 weeks later it was hyperdense and enhanced after injecting meglumine. Positron emission tomography with [11C]methyl-D-glucose also revealed the ischemic lesion, but also marked decrease of glucose uptake in the visual cortex, which indicated decreased functional activity.
