Description

The reliability of the clinical scoring system by the volume measurement of cerebral infarction with SPECT was assessed. The volume measurement of left and right brain in 20 healthy subjects was used as control. We studied the correlations between the volume of infarcted lesion measured by SPECT and two kinds of clinical scoring system in 31 patients who suffered from simple unilateral cerebral infarction. The correlation coefficient between volume and score was 0.631∼0.795 (P<0.001). The coincidence rate was rather good. SPECT study has objectively showed that these 2 kinds of clinical scoring system are quite reliable
