The appearance of images of normal regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) obtained from single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is influenced by several factors, including (1) the environmental conditions at the time of administration of the radiotracer, (2) the characteristics of the subject (eg. age, gender, and handedness), (3) the format used for image presentation, (4) the quality of the tomographic device, (5) the choices of image-processing techniques, and (6) the radiopharmaceutical used. The first three of these topics are briefly reviewed here; topics 4, 5 and 6 are reviewed by others in this workshop summary. 27 refs.
