✦ Synopsis

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using perfusion tracers makes it possible to estimate regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and, indirectly, local brain metabolism. It may be possible to detect and follow physiopathological alterations, such as may be seen in seizure disorders. The authors review the principles of and some data on perfusion SPECT in seizure disorders, stress advantages as well as major drawbacks and add their initial experience with Tc-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (HMPAO) SPECT in febrile convulsions.

## Abstract We propose a new method for reconstruction of images in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), when the activity distribution of the object is time‐varying. The activity evolution is modeled with the first‐order Markov model, and linear observation model is used to characte
