18F-FDG PET/CT for staging and detection of extramedullary organ involvement in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.

abstract：PURPOSE:The authors obtained noninvasive quantitative measurements of regional cerebral blood flow using Tc-99m L,L-ethyl cysteinate dimer (Tc-99m ECD) SPECT to evaluate cerebral collateral circulation during balloon test occlusion (BTO) of the internal carotid artery and vertebral artery (VA). METHODS:Five cases asso...
