Description

The metabolism and kinetics of cerebral uptake of radioactive iodine labelled HIPDM were studied in vivo in rats to evaluate its potential usefulness for quantitative measurement of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). The results demonstrate that a method for quantitative measurement of rCBF with iodine labelled HIPDM must take into account its metabolic degradation, diffusion limitations, and bidirectional flux across the blood-brain barrier. Clinical studies have demonstrated that its intracerebral distribution, as assessed by single photon emission tomography (SPECT), reflects the distribution of rCBF. These observations suggest that this molecule might be of potential usefulness for quantitative rCBF measurement with SPECT. (author)
