Brain SPECT with iodine-123-amphetamine in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

  • 1. Muenster Univ. (Germany, F.R.). Klinik und Poliklinik fuer Nuklearmedizin

Description

The study of 17 patients with ALS by 123I-amphetamine (BIMP) SPECT revealed reduced CBF/amphetamine uptake correlation with the clinical status and course of the disease. ALS appears to involve fronto-temporal structures/functions in the early stage finally leading to generalization with the exclusion of the cerebellum. Thus, in ALS an involvement of also other than only motor cerebral structures/functions, which may be reversible, has to be considered. (orig.)
