SPECT before and after the treatment with hr-NGF. a, b: Perfusion SPECT images before (a) and after b hr-NGF administration. 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT images (transaxial slices) before hr-NGF treatment showed a severe reduction in radiotracer uptake (hypoperfusion) in almost all cortical and subcortical areas as well as in the cerebellum (a). After hr-NGF treatment, an increase in 99mTc-HMPAO uptake was found in the left temporal cortex (+ 20%), right anterior temporal cortex (+ 13%), left thalamus (+ 10%) and bilateral occipital cortex (right: + 14%; left: + 18%, respectively) (b)
