Background  Cerebral blood flow (CBF) quantitation using technetium-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime ( 99m Tc-HMPAO) generally requires assessment of input function by arterial blood sampling, which would be invasive for small animals. We therefore performed chest dynamic planar imaging, instead of arterial blood sampling, to estimate the input function and establish noninvasive quantitation method of rat CBF using the image-derived input function.    Results  Integrated radioactivity concentration in the heart-blood pool on planar images (AUC Blood -planar) was identical to that in arterial blood samples (AUC Blood -sampling). Radioactivity concentration in the brain determined by SPECT imaging (C Brain -SPECT) was identical to that using brain sampling (C Brain -sampling). Noninvasively calculated CBF obtained by dividing C Brain -SPECT by AUC Blood -planar was well correlated with conventionally estimated CBF obtained by dividing C Brain -sampling by AUC Blood -sampling.    Conclusion  Rat CBF could be noninvasively quantitated using  99m Tc-HMPAO chest dynamic planar imaging and head SPECT imaging without arterial blood sampling.
