A new index of cerebral blood flow (brain uptake ratio, BUR) using 99mTc-ECD was developed and evaluated in 66 patients (132 cerebral hemispheres). BUR was calculated from brain count in anterior planar image (60-80 sec after injection of 99mTc-ECD) divided by the summation of the count of aortic arch during first transit of radionuclide. BUR correlated well with brain perfusion index (BPI) obtained with Patlak plot method (r = 0.960, p < 0.001). In conclusion, BUR is useful as a simple and non-invasive index reflecting cerebral blood flow.
