| Description | SPECT is very sensitive to impaired cerebral perfusion and may be helpful as a serial study. This might be beneficial in patients with reversible ischemia and all the effort has to be made to keep CPP on normal levels. Improvement of perfusion detected by SPECT is related with a good outcome. Moreover SPECT shows the real areas at risk of ischemia which might ge chosen for brain oxymetry monitoring. |
