Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present prospective study aimed to determine whether the addition of 123I-iomazenil (IMZ) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to brain perfusion SPECT could improve the detection accuracy of misery perfusion on positron emission tomography (PET) in adult patients with ischemic moyamoya disease (MMD). METHODS Oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) and brain perfusion were assessed using 15O gas PET and N-isopropyl-p-[123I]-iodoamphetamine (IMP) SPECT, respectively, in 137 patients. IMZ SPECT was also performed. Regions of interest (ROIs) were automatically placed in the five middle cerebral artery (MCA) territories ipsilateral to the symptomatic cerebral hemisphere and in the contralateral posterior cerebral artery territory using a three-dimensional stereotaxic ROI template. The radioactive count of the MCA ROI to the contralateral posterior cerebral artery ROI was calculated on IMP SPECT (relative SPECT-IMP uptake) and IMZ SPECT (relative SPECT-IMZ uptake). The relative SPECT-IMZ uptake to the relative SPECT-IMP uptake was also calculated (relative SPECT-IMZ/IMP uptake). Of the five MCA ROIs in the symptomatic cerebral hemisphere in each patient, the ROI with the highest PET-OEF value (one ROI per patient) was selected for analysis. RESULTS Significant correlations were observed between the PET-OEF and relative SPECT-IMP uptake (correlation coefficient, - 0.683) and relative SPECT-IMZ/IMP uptake (correlation coefficient, 0.875). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for detecting misery perfusion (PET-OEF > 51.3%) was significantly greater for the relative SPECT-IMZ/IMP uptake than for the relative SPECT-IMP uptake (difference between areas, 0.080; p = 0.0004). The sensitivity, specificity, and positive- and negative-predictive values for the relative SPECT-IMZ/IMP uptake for detecting misery perfusion were 100%, 92%, 81%, and 100%, respectively. The specificity and positive-predictive value were significantly greater for the relative SPECT-IMZ/IMP uptake than for the relative SPECT-IMP uptake. CONCLUSIONS The addition of IMZ SPECT to brain perfusion SPECT improves the detection accuracy of misery perfusion on PET in adult patients with ischemic MMD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although revascularization surgery is recommended for adult patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) who present with ischemic symptoms due to hemodynamic compromise, the clinical course of such patients who are treated with medical management alone remains unclear. Here, we report outcomes of adult patients with cerebral misery perfusion due to ischemic MMD who received medical management alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively followed up patients who showed misery perfusion in the symptomatic cerebral hemisphere on 15O gas positron emission tomography (PET) and received strict medical management alone after refusing revascularization surgery. RESULTS Of 57 patients who showed symptomatic misery perfusion on 15O gas PET, three (5%) were included into the present study. Two of these patients suffered further ischemic events at 7 and 8 months after inclusion, after which, their modified Rankin disability scale scores deteriorated. In the remaining patient, fatal intracerebral hemorrhage developed at 10 months after inclusion. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that receiving medical management alone is associated with considerably poor outcomes for adult patients with cerebral misery perfusion due to ischemic MMD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION No clear guidelines for treating adult patients with ischemic moyamoya disease (MMD) without cerebral hemodynamic compromise such as misery perfusion have been established. Our previous prospective cohort study of adult patients with MMD without misery perfusion who were treated with medical management alone, including an antiplatelet drug, showed a recurrent ischemic event rate of 3% per 2 years. The present prospective study aimed to elucidate the 5-year clinical, cerebral perfusion, and cognitive outcomes of medical management alone for Japanese adult patients with ischemic MMD without cerebral misery perfusion by following the same patients for another 3 years. METHODS In total, 68 patients without recurrent events at a 2-year follow-up were prospectively followed up for another 3 years. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the symptomatic cerebral hemisphere was measured using brain perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography at inclusion and at the end of the subsequent 3-year follow-up. Neuropsychological testing was performed at inclusion and at the end of the initial 2- and subsequent 3-year follow-ups. RESULTS During the subsequent 3-year follow-up, 2 patients (3%) developed further ischemic events. In patients without further ischemic events, CBF was significantly greater at the end of the subsequent 3-year follow-up than at inclusion (p = 0.0037), and all neuropsychological test scores improved or remained unchanged at the end of initial 2- and subsequent 3-year follow-ups compared with that at inclusion. CONCLUSION In adult patients receiving medical management alone for ischemic MMD without cerebral misery perfusion, the incidence of further ischemic events was 6% per 5 years and did not change between the initial 2 years after the last is-chemic event and the subsequent 3 years. In patients without further ischemic events, CBF and cognitive function had not deteriorated at 5 years after the last ischemic event.

Abstract
PURPOSE MRI-based risk stratification should be established to identify patients with internal carotid artery stenosis (ICS) who require further PET or SPECT evaluation. This study assessed whether multiparametric flow analysis using time-resolved 3D phase-contrast (4D flow) MRI can detect cerebral hemodynamic impairment in patients with ICS. METHODS This retrospective study analyzed 26 consecutive patients with unilateral ICS (21 men; mean age, 71 years) who underwent 4D flow MRI and acetazolamide-stress brain perfusion SPECT. Collateral flow via the Willis ring was visually evaluated. Temporal mean flow volume rate (Net), pulsatile flow volume (ΔV), and pulsatility index (PI) at the middle cerebral artery were measured. Cerebral vascular reserve (CVR) was calculated from the SPECT dataset. Patients were assigned to the misery perfusion group if the CVR was < 10% and to the nonmisery perfusion group if the CVR was ≥ 10%. Parameters showing a significant difference in both groups were statistically evaluated. RESULTS Affected side ΔV, ratio of affected to contralateral side Net (rNet), and ratio of affected to contralateral side ΔV were significantly correlated to CVR (p = 0.030, p = 0.010, p = 0.015, respectively). Absence of retrograde flow at the posterior communicating artery was observed in the misery perfusion group (p = 0.020). Combined cut-off values of the affected side ΔV (0.18 ml) and rNet (0.64) showed a sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 77.8%, respectively. CONCLUSION Multiparametric flow analysis using 4D flow MRI can detect misery perfusion by comprehensively assessing blood flow data, including blood flow volume, pulsation, and collateral flow.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In nonsurgical adult moyamoya disease (MMD) patients with ischemic onset and stable hemodynamics, the cerebral hemodynamic and cognitive course remains unclear. OBJECTIVE To clarify, through a prospective cohort study, 2-yr clinical, cerebral hemodynamic, and cognitive outcomes of adult patients receiving medication alone for symptomatically ischemic MMD without cerebral misery perfusion. METHODS Seventy patients without cerebral misery perfusion on the first 15O gas positron emission tomography (PET) were clinically followed up for 2 yr. The second PET was performed at the end of the 2-yr follow-up. Neuropsychological tests were also performed at the study entry and the end of the 2-yr follow-up. RESULTS During the 2-yr follow-up period, 2 patients (3%) developed further cerebral ischemic symptoms and showed new cerebral misery perfusion on PET performed at recurrence. None of the 68 patients without further ischemic symptoms showed cerebral misery perfusion on second PET. All 66 patients who underwent the first and second neuropsychological tests displayed unchanged interval cognition at the 2-yr follow-up. CONCLUSION Among adult patients receiving medication alone for symptomatically ischemic MMD without cerebral misery perfusion, the incidence of recurrent ischemic events was 3% per 2 yr. In patients without recurrent ischemic events, cerebral hemodynamics and cognitive function had not deteriorated by 2 yr after the last event.

Abstract
Although experimental studies have shown that global cerebral hypoperfusion leads to amyloid deposition in the hemisphere with carotid artery occlusion in rodents, the results of such occurrence are controversial in humans. Hence, we aim to determine whether global cerebral hypoperfusion leading to decreased blood flow relative to metabolic demand [increased oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), misery perfusion] is associated with increases in amyloid deposition in the hemisphere with atherosclerotic major cerebral artery disease in patients. We evaluated the distribution of β-amyloid plaques using positron emission tomography and a [18F]-pyridylbenzofuran derivative (18F-FPYBF-2) in 13 patients with unilateral atherosclerotic disease of the internal carotid artery (ICA) or middle cerebral artery (MCA) disease and no cortical infarction. The distribution volume ratio (DVR) of 18F- FPYBF-2 was calculated using dynamic data and Logan graphical analysis with reference tissue and was correlated with the cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2), and OEF, obtained from 15O-gas PET. The mean cortical value was calculated as the mean value within the frontal, posterior cingulate, precuneus, parietal, and lateral temporal cortical regions. Significant reductions in CBF and CMRO2 and increases in OEF were found in the hemisphere ipsilateral to the arterial lesion compared with the contralateral hemisphere. There was no significant difference for 18F-FPYBF-2 DVR between hemispheres. The ipsilateral to contralateral ratio of the 18F- FPYBF-2 DVR was increased in 3 patients, while the ipsilateral to contralateral OEF ratio was increased in 4 patients. The incidence of an increased hemispheric DVR ratio was significantly higher in patients with an increased hemispheric OEF ratio (3/4) than in patients without (0/9) (p < 0.02). Although the 18F- FPYBF-2 DVR in the ipsilateral hemisphere was positively correlated with OEF after adjustment for the 18F- FPYBF-2 DVR in the contralateral hemisphere using multiple regression analysis (p < 0.05), the contribution rate of OEF was small (R2 = 5.5%). Only one of the 4 patients with an increased hemispheric OEF ratio showed amyloid positivity based on the DVR value. In atherosclerotic major cerebral artery disease, misery perfusion accompanied only small increases of amyloid deposition at best. Misery perfusion was not associated with amyloid positivity. Misery perfusion accompanied only small increases of amyloid deposition at best. Relative oxygen extraction fraction correlated with relative amyloid deposition. Misery perfusion was not associated with amyloid positivity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to determine how accurately relative cerebral blood flow (RCBF) and relative cerebrovascular reactivity (RCVR) to acetazolamide assessed using brain perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) detected misery perfusion identified on positron emission tomography (PET) in adult patients with ischemic moyamoya disease (MMD). METHODS Oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), RCBF, and RCVR were assessed using 15O gas PET and N-isopropyl-p-[123I]-iodoamphetamine SPECT without and with acetazolamide challenge, respectively, in 45 patients. Regions of interest (ROIs) were automatically placed in the five middle cerebral artery (MCA) territories in the symptomatic cerebral hemisphere and in the ipsilateral cerebellar hemisphere using a three-dimensional stereotaxic ROI template. For RCBF and RCVR to acetazolamide, the ratio of the MCA ROI to cerebellar ROI was calculated. Of the five MCA ROIs in the symptomatic cerebral hemisphere in each patient, the ROI with the highest and lowest OEF value (two ROIs per patient) was selected for analyses. RESULTS A significant square or linear correlation was observed between the OEF and RCBF (correlation coefficient, 0.780) or RCVR (correlation coefficient, - 0.345), respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for detecting misery perfusion (OEF > 51.3%) was significantly greater for the RCBF than for the RCVR (difference between areas, 0.221; p < 0.0001). Sensitivity, specificity, and positive- and negative-predictive values for the RCBF for detecting misery perfusion were 100, 91, 67, and 100%, respectively. The specificity and positive-predictive value did not differ between the combination of the RCBF and RCVR and the CBF ratio alone. CONCLUSIONS RCBF assessed using brain perfusion SPECT detects misery perfusion with high sensitivity, a high negative-predictive value, and a low positive-predictive value in adult patients with ischemic MMD. The accuracy of RCVR to acetazolamide assessed using brain perfusion SPECT is lower than that of RCBF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate tissue perfusion and venous susceptibility in ischaemic stroke patients as a means to predict clinical status and early prognosis. METHODS A retrospective study of 51 ischaemic stroke patients were enrolled in this study. Susceptibility, perfusion and National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) were compared between patients with and without asymmetrically prominent cortical veins (APCVs). The correlation between susceptibility, perfusion and NIHSS was performed. RESULTS Compared to patients without APCVs, the age of patients with APCVs was statistically older (p = 0.017). Patients with APCVs at discharge showed clinical deterioration in their NIHSS. Mean transit time (MTT), time to peak (TTP) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the stroke hemisphere were statistically delayed/decreased in patients with and without APCVs (all p < 0.05). In patients with APCVs, the changes in susceptibility positively correlated with increases in MTT and TTP (p < 0.05). Susceptibility and TTP positively correlated and CBF negatively correlated with NIHSS both at admission and discharge (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Patients with APCVs have a tendency of deterioration. The presence of APCVs indicates the tissue has increased oxygen extraction fraction. Increased susceptibility from APCVs positively correlated with the delayed MTT and TTP, which reflects the clinical status at admission and predicts an early prognosis. KEY POINTS • Patients with and without APCVs have similar misery perfusion. • Patients with APCVs have a tendency of deterioration compared to those without. • The presence of APCVs indicated the tissue has increased oxygen extraction fraction. • Increased susceptibility from APCVs positively correlated with the MTT and TTP. • Increased susceptibility from APCVs reflected the clinical status at admission.

Abstract
PURPOSE Superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass is an important technique for cerebrovascular reconstruction. Intraoperative hemodynamic imaging is needed to perform cerebrovascular reconstruction safely and effectively. Optical intrinsic signal (OIS) imaging is commonly used for assessing cerebral hemodynamics in experimental studies, because it can provide high-resolution mapping images. However, OIS is not used clinically due to algorithm, instrumentation and spectral resolution limitations. We tested the feasibility of a hyperspectral camera (HSC) for assessment of cortical hemodynamics with spectral imaging of the cerebral cortex in rats and in vivo humans. METHODS A hyperspectral camera (HSC) was tested in a rat model of cerebral ischemia (middle cerebral artery occlusion) and during human revascularization surgery (STA-MCA anastomosis). Changes in cortical oxygen saturation were derived from spectral imaging data (400-800 nm) collected by exposing the cortex to Xenon light. Reflected light was sampled using the HSC. The system was then tested intraoperatively during superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery anastomosis procedures. Comparison with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging data was done. RESULTS During middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats, the HSC technique showed a significant decrease in cortical oxygen saturation in the ischemic hemisphere. In clinical cases, the cortical oxygen saturation was increased after STA-MCA anastomosis, which agreed with the SPECT imaging data. CONCLUSION Continuous collection of imaging spectroscopic data is feasible and may provide reliable quantification of the hemodynamic responses in the brain. The HSC system may be useful for monitoring intraoperative changes in cortical surface hemodynamics during revascularization procedures in humans.
