Abstract

Presents a study that investigated the effects of attenuation correction and scatter correction on regional cerebral blood flow values with [sup99]Tc-Ethyl cysteinate dimer (ECD) single photon emission computed tomography. Evaluation of the applicability of uniform attenuation maps (UAM); Technique used for scatter correction; Adequacy of using a UAM generated with ECD images.
