Our results suggested that the transportation efficiency of I-123 IMZ into the brain tissue was an indicator for evaluating severity of cerebral ischemia in patients with chronic steno-occlusive disease of ICA or MCA. Cerebral metabolic state can possibly be estimated by I-123 IMZ SPECT without cyclotron.
