Regional cerebral blood flow was assessed in patients with signs and symptoms of acute stroke using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and N-isopropyl I-123 p-iodoamphetamine (IMP). Patients (25) with acute cerebral infarction had both IMP brain perfusion studies and CT scans performed within 1 wk of each other; 22 had positive and 3 had negative perfusion studies. Of the 22 patients who had positive perfusion studies, 6 had negative CT studies initially. In the 16 patients who had abnormal CT studies, 8 of the studies depicted areas of edema that were smaller than the perfusion deficits noted on the IMP studies and 8 had areas of edema that were approximately equal in size to the perfusion defect. Of the 3 patients with normal IMP studies, 2 had normal CT studies and 1 had a positive CT study showing a 3-mm lacunar infarction.
