The organization of the workshop, forming the basis for these proceedings, evolved from the interest and enthusiasm of members of the Brain Imaging Council of the Society of Nuclear Medicine. It was organized to provide a forum for investigators and users of the brain perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) procedure to meet and discuss issues important and relevant to its application. Fifty six attendees, including 28 invited workshop participants, attended the day and a half meeting to present and discuss radiopharmaceuticals, SPECT instrumentation, acquisition parameters and image processing and interpretation for brain perfusion imaging. The results of these efforts are contained in the fourteen papers and associated discussions presented in this volume. These include two papers on radiopharmaceuticals in Part 1, two papers on instrumentation and image acquisition in Part 2, nine papers on image processing interpretation and clinical application in Part 3, and one paper on quantitative rCBF in part 4. Individual projects are processed separately for the databases.
