Specialized Brain Imaging for Cerebral Blood Flow
99mTc-ECD Acetazolamide/Adenosine Stress Brain Scan in Bangalore
Accurate, non-invasive imaging performed by expert nuclear medicine doctors.
99mTc-ECD Acetazolamide Stress Brain Scan
A 99mTc-ECD Acetazolamide Stress Brain Scan is a nuclear medicine imaging test that evaluates how well blood flows to the brain. It uses a radiotracer (99mTc-ECD) along with a stress-inducing medication (Acetazolamide) to help identify areas with reduced blood supply. This scan is especially useful for conditions like stroke, vascular dementia, neurovascular disease, or brain tumors.
Acetazolamide simulates “stress” in the brain by dilating blood vessels, helping doctors understand how your brain responds when blood-flow demand increases.
Why Is This Scan Done
Assess Cerebral Blood Flow
Measures how blood flows to the brain to detect areas of poor circulation, which may indicate conditions like stroke, brain injury, or dementia.
Evaluate Brain Function
Helps doctors assess brain function, especially in patients with a history of stroke or neurovascular disease.
Test Brain's Response to Stress
Acetazolamide induces stress to evaluate how the brain reacts to increased blood flow demand.
