Diagnostic imaging

To establish the diagnosis of brain AVM in various clinical situations 

To make a pretherapeutic evaluation of the AVM to help in decision-making 

To treat the AVM as a sole therapy or in association with surgery or radiosurgery 

The role of CT angiography in the diagnostic workup of brain AVMs is not precisely defined. Aoki et al. (1998) showed that 3D CT angiography provided precise anatomic information on nidus and draining veins but did not demonstrate small feeders. 

In patients with a large hematoma for which emergency evacuation is necessary, CTA may be useful to detect a brain AVM preoperatively and thus give the surgeon some idea about the surgical strategy to be followed. However, small AVMs can be misdiagnosed by this technique.

DTPA has also been used in the peptide-based " in-DTPA-octreotide. Octreotide is a shortened peptide analog of somatostatin designed to be more stable in vivo. Radiolabeling of octreotide for diagnostic imaging applications with radioisotopes for PET or SPECT has been investigated,...

Technetium and rhenium coordination chemistry has actively developed in order to design materials as potential radiopharmaceuticals diagnostic imaging agents for technetium and potential therapeutic reagents based on rhenium. Continuous efforts are still applied to find efficient chelating systems for the [MO]3+ cores (M=Tc, Re). Thus several complexes with monodentate and...
