Brain SPECT with HMPAO & Safety of Thrombolytic Therapy in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Stroke 28:1830-1834, Alexandrov,A.V.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The major obstacle to general acceptance of thrombolytic therapies and rTPA in particular is the fear of symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation, and because HMPAO-SPECT might reliably identify patients at high risk of symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation,the clinical value of HMPAO-SPECT in patient selection for thrombolysis during the first hours of acute ischemic stroke should be determined through a prospective clinical trial.
