| Abstract | A method has been developed for repeat quantitation of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using a diffusible tracer such as O-15 water (H/sub 2//sup 15/O) and I-123 iodo-amphetamine (/sup 123/IMP). The background activity distribution due to the previous tracer administration was formulated according to a compartment model, so as to allow initiation of the next scan while residual radioactivity exists, minimizing the intervals between scans. This background distribution was estimated from the previous scan with the minimum enhancement of the statistical noise. Theoretical simulation study was carried out, and demonstrated that the estimated images of the transient tracer distribution are highly weighted on transient rCBF immediately after the tracer administration, and that the change of rCBF after a certain period has only small contribution to the estimated tracer distributions. Another set of simulation study showed that estimated rCBF was sensitive to the transient rCBF only immediately after the tracer administration, and that the change after a certain period does not contribute to the rCBF estimated by the present approach. This technique was then applied to a clinical test-retest study using IMP and SPECT. Reproducibility of rCBF quantified by this approach was less than 5% in 5 studies performed at rest-rest condition, and vascular reactivity determined by a rest-vasodilating drug stimulation (Rest-Diamox) on 5 healthy volunteers appeared to be 40%, which was in an agreement with literature value. We thus conclude that repeat rCBF quantitation is feasible with considerably shorter intervals than the present protocol, and can be applied to clinical studies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
