1 Air embolism: diagnosis with single-photon emission tomography and successful hyperbaric oxygen therapy  L. Droghetti, M. Giganti, A. Memmo, R. Zatelli  British Journal of Anaesthesia  Volume 89, Issue 5, Pages (November 2002) DOI: /bja/aef257 Copyright © 2002 British Journal of Anaesthesia Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Three representative transverse slices of the SPET study of the brain with 99mTc-HMPAO, performed 31 h after paradoxical air embolism. (a) The arrow indicates a right cerebellar hemisphere uptake defect with interhemispheric asymmetry. (b) The arrow indicates bilateral occipital defects. (c) The arrow indicates a left frontal defect. British Journal of Anaesthesia  , DOI: ( /bja/aef257) Copyright © 2002 British Journal of Anaesthesia Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 SPET study of the brain performed 13 days after injury. Mild interhemispheric cerebellar asymmetry (a) and completely normal tracer uptake in the occipital (b) and frontal (c) cerebral regions.
