Twenty-two cases of ischemic cerebral vascular disease
diagnosed by clinical and experimental methods
were examined with 99mTc-ECD SPECT regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) tomography adaging before and after treatment with exterenal counter pulsation (ECP). Before the treatment
there were 54 segments deficient in rCBF
while after the treatment 20 segments fully improved (37.5%)
19 segments podly approved (35.2%) and 15 segments not changed (27.8%).Therefore
totalefficacy reached up to 72.2%(39/54). The result suggested that SPECT is useful notonly for early diagnosis but also for the evaluation of the curative effect on ischemic cerebral vascular disease.
