For the radiopharmaceutical of choice, a comparison between early and delayed images using Tc-99m HMPAO and Tc-99m ECD showed that Tc-99m HMPAO is more stable in the brain with no washout over time. The authors also present the technical recommendations for SPECT brain perfusion currently practiced at their center. The purpose of this atlas is to present a review of the literature showing the advantages of SPECT brain perfusion imaging (BPI) in mild or moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) over other morphologic imaging modalities such as x-ray CT or MRI. SPECT brain perfusion abnormalities in mild or moderate traumatic brain injury.ДЄbdel-Dayem, H M Abu-Judeh, H Kumar, M Atay, S Naddaf, S El-Zeftawy, H Luo, J Q

Early imaging can detect more lesions than delayed imaging (p = 0.0011). Basal ganglia hypoperfusion is the most common abnormality following mild or moderate traumatic brain injury (p = 0.006), and is more common in patients complaining of memory problem (p = 0.0005) and dizziness (p = 0.003). In early imaging, 382 lesions were detected in 92 patients (average 4.2 lesions per study) imaging after 3 months detected 230 lesions: in 84 patients (average 2.7 lesions per study). The SPECT BPI studies in 122/228 (54%) were done early within 3 months of the date of the accident, and for the remainder, 106/228 (46%) over 3 months and less than 3 years from the date of the injury. Patients' symptoms correlated with the SPECT brain perfusion findings. For abnormal studies (176/228 or 77%) the findings were as follows: basal ganglia hypoperfusion 338 lesions (55.2%) frontal lobe hypoperfusion 146 (23.8%) temporal lobes hypoperfusion 80 (13%) parietal lobes hypoperfusion 20 (3.7%) insular and or occipital lobes hypoperfusion 28 (4.6%). Normal studies accounted for 52/228 (23%). The most common complaints were characteristic of the postconcussion syndrome: headaches 139/228 (61%) dizziness 61/228 (27%) and memory problems 63/228 (28%). The ages ranged from 11-88 years (mean 40.8). The patient population included 135 males and 93 females. All patients had no past medical history of previous brain trauma, neurological, or psychiatric diseases, HIV, alcohol or drug abuse.

This is a retrospective evaluation of 228 SPECT brain perfusion-imaging studies of patients who suffered mild or moderate traumatic brain injury with or without loss of consciousness (LOC).
