MIBI Brain Spect

A test that looks for changes in brain blood flow patterns is called MIBI Brain Single-photon emission computed tomography (MIBI Brain SPECT). It is used to evaluate brain tumors and is highly recommended for visualizing high-grade tumors. Blood flow in the area of the brain where seizures begin is at its peak during a seizure. 

Why is MIBI Brain Spect Done?

• To indicate areas of increased brain activity due to increased blood flow to these areas in epileptic patients who have undergone other tests like EEG or MRI but the location of origin of the seizures could not be determined.
• This is used to visualize and evaluate brain tumors
• Diagnose certain vascular brain disorders, such as moyamoya disease( a condition in which the arteries in the brain become blocked or narrowed)
• Diagnose Parkinson’s disease
