Abstract		Single photon emission tomography (SPECT) of the brainhas been used to diagnose functional abnormalities of the brain. The uptake of the radiotracers is uniform and homogeneous in a normally functioning brain, while it can be increased or decreased in abnormal cases, according to regional chanes of brain function and perfusion. The most important cinical use of this investigation is the localisationof the epieptogenic foci in chidren with refractory epielpsy. It the epieptogenic foci in chidren with refractory epilepsy. It is used also in the diagnosis of hepetic encephatitis and brain death, and in the evaluation of patients after craniocerebral trauma and children with behavior disoerders.
Summary		Enofotonsko emisijsko računalniško tomografijo (SPECT) možganov uporabjamo za prikaz funkcionalnih motenj delovanja možganov. V normalnih primerih ugotovimo homogeno in enakomerno nabiranje radioindikatorja v sivi možganovini, v patoloških pa regionalno zvišano ali znižano nabiranje indikatorja, ustrezno lokalno spremenjenemu delovanju ali perfuziji možganov. najpomembnejša klinična indikacija za izsevno tomografijo možganov pri otrocih je dokazovanje mesta žarišča pri fokalni epilepsiji. Preiskavo uporabljamo tudi za dokazovanje herpetičnega encefalitisa in možganske smrti ter pri ocenjevanju posledic kraniocrebralne poškodbe in vedenjskih motenj.
