PET Imaging of Crossed Cerebellar Diaschisis after Long-Term Cerebral Ischemia in Rats
Figure 1
Serial images of [18F]FDG PET following cerebral ischemia. Normalized coronal PET images of [18F]FDG at day 0 (control), day 1, day 3, day 7, day 14, day 21 and day 28 after MCAO are coregistered with the MRI (T2W) to localize anatomically the PET signal (a). Images correspond to the lesion evolution of the same animal over time. Time course of the progression of the [18F]FDG PET signal () was shown as the ratio of the entire ipsilateral to contralateral cerebral hemisphere (cerebrum) (b), cortex (c) and striatum (d). The upper right panels of each figure show the selected brain ROIs for the quantification defined on a slice of a MRI (T2W) template. compared to control, , and compared to day 1.
