Abstract

The formation of the indications to surgical treatment ishemic disorders of brain blood flow requires the further study of opportunities SPECT in complex researches of such patients. With the help of the АG, CТ, ultrasonic dopplerography (UD) and SPECT 17 patients were investigated. After that these patients were operated concerning the various forms of a ishemic defects of internal coronary arteries (ICA). SPECT had the highest sensitivity in revealing of the disorders of cerebral haemodinamics. Also is established higher diagnostic informativity SPECT and UD, in comparison with CТ, in diagnostics of transient disorders of the CBF. The local reductions CBF are marked with all clinical displays of the cerebral blood circulation disorders. The significant decrease CBF (nearly 50 %) are observed at the majority of the patients with tromboses of ICA. The operative intervention has higher productivity with a diameter of the ishemic focus on CТ < 4 sm.
