123I-IMP images in a representative case show normal perfusion. Although relatively decreased perfusion is seen at the left parietal-occipital region in A, quantitative analysis showed flow of more than 30 mL/100 g/min, with markedly increased flow after acetazolamide administration. Note similar cerebral blood flow depictions on both pre- and post-acetazolamide FAIR images.
