Evaluation of cerebral hypoperfusion by nuclear medicine imaging in a patient with Takayasu's arteritis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Overtreatment and overuse of resources are leading causes of rising health care costs. Identification and elimination process of low value services is important in reducing such costs. At many institutions it is routine to send excised plaque after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for pathology evaluation. With ...
