We investigated d,1 (/sup 99m/Tc)hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime complex (HM-PAO) as a tracer for quantitative measurement of local cerebral blood flow (LCBF) in a series of awake male rats. LCBF measurements with HM-PAO were compared to those of two other tracers, (/sup 14/C) iodoantipyrine (IAP) and (/sup 201/Tl)diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC), using quantitative double and triple tracer digital autoradiography. LCBF values with HM-PAO averaged 64% those of IAP and were generally linearly related. Detailed analysis suggested that the underestimation of LCBF by HM-PAO was related to blood constituent binding and/or rapid conversion to a noncerebrophilic compound, as well as noninstantaneous cerebral trapping, rather than to diffusion limitation.
