1 1 NUCLEAR MEDICINE SERVICES SUBJECT: CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW Indications This study is performed to evaluate cerebral perfusion in patients suspected of having no blood flow to the brain. These patients are often victims of motor vehicle accidents or other intracranial injuries. Examination Time 30 minutes. Patient Preparation None. Equipment & Energy Windows Gamma camera: Large field of view. Collimator: VXGP Energy window: 20% window centered at 140 kev. Radiopharmaceutical, Dose, & Technique of Administration Radiopharmaceutical: Tc99m DTPA. Adult Dose: 20mCi. Pediatric Dose: 5 mci minimum, 0.3 mci/kg Technique of administration: Bolus in intravenous line. Prefer antecubital. Patient Position & Imaging Field Patient position: Supine. Imaging field: Make sure the patient s head is as straight as possible. It may be necessary to secure head with tape, or use towels to keep the head straight.
