Brain perfusion is abnormal in cocaine-dependent polydrug users: a study using technetium-99m-HMPAO and ASPECT.

TL;DR: This study studied a group of cocaine-dependent polydrug users with 99mTc-HMPAO and high-resolution SPECT and compared their perfusion pattern to cerebral perfusion in an older control subjects, finding abnormal perfusion characterized primarily as small focal defects involving inferoparietal, temporal, and anterofrontal cortex and basal ganglia.

Regional Cerebral Blood Flow Improves with Treatment in Chronic Cocaine Polydrug Users
TL;DR: The perfusion defects observed in chronic cocaine polydrug users are partially reversible with short-term abstinence and buprenorphine treatment, and the perfusion abnormalities observed with 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT are part of the results of the first SPECT study.

TL;DR: High quality SPECT images are obtained as a result of the optimal physical and biologic characteristics of the tracer as well as the accuracy of SPECT imaging in patients with chronic cerebral infarction.
