CEREBRAL 150 AND 150-O2 PET STUDY

DATE: 11/17/2005

PROCEDURE:  The patient was given an IV injection of 15O-H2O.  After a standard uptake period, the patient was imaged on a Siemens/CTI PET scanner with multiple five-minute static images.  After frames containing patient motion were removed, the remaining images were summed, reconstructed and re-sliced into transaxial and coronal images.  The patient then inhaled 15O-O2. and further imaging was performed.  

15O-H2O DOSE: [30] mCi

15O-O2 DOSE: [30] mCi

SESSION NUMBER: p00000

CORRELATIVE STUDIES: None

COMPARISON: None

CLINICAL HISTORY: The patient is a [...]-year-old [fe]male with past medical history significant for [...], who is referred for evaluation of [...].

FINDINGS: 

PERFUSION 15O-H2O STUDY: There is normal symmetric tracer uptake in both cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum, brain stem and the basal ganglia.

OXYGEN 15O-O2 STUDY: There is normal symmetric tracer uptake in the both cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum, brain stem and basal ganglia.

CONCLUSIONS: Symmetric uptake on perfusion and oxygen extraction imaging.

Thank you for referring this patient to the UCLA Nuclear Medicine Clinic.

I, [...], M.D., Ph.D., have reviewed this Nuclear Medicine study personally, and am in full agreement with the findings of the report presented here.
