Temporal changes in brain magnetic resonance and perfusion images before surgery. (a) Transverse slices of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images during the acute phase of hyperthermia. (b) Transverse FLAIR images taken at nine months after onset, showing progressive atrophy of the bilateral superior cerebellar peduncles and the cerebellum. (c) Three-dimensional stereotactic surface projection analyses of ¹²³I-iodoamphetamine single-photon emission computed tomography images, scanned nine months after onset. Statistical parametric image of reduced regional perfusion shown in rainbow color (Z score) compared to the healthy individual database, showing marked hypoperfusion in the bilateral cerebellum and mild hypoperfusion in the bilateral frontal lobes, but no abnormalities in the (i) basal ganglia and (ii) brainstem in the transverse slice.
