Description

Tc-99m forms a neutral-lipophilic chelate with d,1-4,8-diaza-3,6,6,9-tetramethylundecane-2,10-dione bis oxime (d,1-HM-PAO) that has excellent cerebral uptake and retention properties. Studies in humans and animals suggest that the regional cerebral uptake (rCU) of Tc-99m-d,1-HM-PAO is proportional to the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and that there is minimal intracerebral redistribution. For this reason, this chelate is being used in conjunction with SPECT to evaluate patients with rCBF disorders. The rCU of Tc-99m-d,1-HM-PAO was compared to three other tracers commonly used to assess rCBF in laboratory animals: C-14-iodo-antipyrine, I-125-N-isopropyliodoamphetamine and Sn-113 microspheres.
