Understanding Brain Spect (Epilepsy Protocol) in Faridabad
What is Brain Spect (Epilepsy Protocol) in Faridabad?
Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a test that detects changes in blood flow patterns in the brain. During a seizure, blood flow is highest at the point in the brain where the seizure starts (hotspot). SPECT can identify this area. Epilepsy protocol refers to the sequence of images of the brain when evaluating a potential seizure disorder. It is very useful in finding the onset of a seizure.
A small amount of radioactive substance is infused into a vein in the arm, and you are likely to feel a cold sensation entering your body. Lying down quietly for about 20 minutes is advised until the tracer is completely absorbed by the body.
