Background: the effect of single-dose and long-term cholinergic enhancement with tacrine on regional cerebral perfusion was examined in patients with Alzheimer's disease using single-photon emission tomography (SPET). Method: 23 patients with probabl... Read More about A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of tacrine in patients with Alzheimer's disease using SPET.

Edmonstone, Y., Austin, M., Prentice, N., Dougall, N., Freeman, C. P. L., Ebmeier, K. P. & Goodwin, G. M. (1994). Uptake of99mTc-exametazime shown by single photon emission computerized tomography in obsessive-compulsive disorder compared with major depression and normal controls. Acta psychiatrica Scandinavica. 90. (4). 298-303. doi:10.1111/j.1600-0447.1994.tb01597.x. ISSN 0001-690X.

Twelve patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) were investigated at rest using single photon emission computerized tomography with 99mTc-exametazime. The uptake of 99mTc-exametazime was expressed relative to calcarine/occipital cortex. Pati...
