Abstract「要旨」Patlak Plot法と99mTc-HMPAOを用いた非侵襲的で簡便な脳血流の定量評価法により, Acetazolamide (DIAMOX(R)) 負荷による脳血流増加をとらえ得るか検討した. 99mTc-HMPAO SPECTを施行するに際しRIアンジオグラフィを撮像し, Patlak Plot法により脳への流入速度定数 (ku) および非特異的に脳内に存在し血中の放射能と速い平衡にあるトレーサの分布容積 (Vn) を求め, それぞれを関心領域の大きさで補正した指標 (Brain Perfusion Index, BPIおよびCorrected Vn, Corr. Vn) を算出した. baseline studyの結果post-DIAMOX studyが必要とされた9名を対象とし, baseline studyの約1週間後にpost-DIAMOX studyを施行した. その結果DIAMOX負荷時のBPIはbaseline studyに対し平均で25.8%の増加が見られ, DIAMOX負荷時のCorr. Vnはbaseline studyに対し平均で23.5%の増加が見られた. 各症例のBPIの増加率とCorr. Vnの増加率の間には正の相関 (r=0.795) が見られた. 以上より本法により非侵襲的かつ簡便に, DIAMOX負荷による脳血流の増加が確認できると考えられた. またBPIとCorr. Vnの増加率の間に正の相関が見られたことから, DIAMOXが末梢の脳血管を拡張させ脳血流が増加している可能性が示唆された.

Abstract[Summary] A simple noninvasive method for a quantitative measurement of brain perfusion is presented using intravenous radionuclide angiography with 99mTc-hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (HMPAO) . Graphical analysis was employed for the evaluation of the unidirectional influx constant (ku) of the tracer from the blood to the brain and the initial distribution volume (Vn) for the tracer, which is the volume of the exchangeable region plus the plasma space. The ku and Vn values were standardized to provide objective and comparable values, brain perfusion indices (BPI) and corrected Vn (Corr. Vn) , between subjects by setting the size ratio of ROIbrain to ROIaorta at 10 and 1, respectively. BPI and Corr. Vn of the whole brain were measured before and 20 min after injection of 1 g acetazolamide. After acetazolamide administration, BPI and Corr. Vn increased in all eight subjects with cerebrovascular diseases and one with a pituitary adenoma, by a mean of×1.26 and 1.24, respectively. Increase of BPI showed a significant correlation with increase of Corr. Vn. This technique is easy to apply as an adjunct to SPECT and may be helpful in the measurement of brain perfusion changes in the acetazolamide test.
