Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in dysfunction of motor and sensory system and the hormonal secretion. Not only the change of peripheral hormonal organs, the central neurotransmitters were also affected. We consider there are some changes in cerebral physiology, anatomy or function after SCI. Transcranial magnetic stimulation, magnetic coil or EEG were used to study the phenomenon of cortical reorganization in post-injury of spinal cord. Now functional imaging render the researcher easier to understand adaptive changes of cerebral cortex in patients with SCI. Due to the development of positron emission tomography (PET) and adequate supply of 18-F-deoxyglucose (FDG), the cerebral glucose metabolism and blood flow were approached in easier way. PET was used in patients with cervical compressive myelopathy to evaluate the glucose metabolic rate. Standardized uptake value of FDG and its association with neurological status of pre- and post-operation had been studied. PET was also used to assess the effect of a transverse cord lesion on cerebral energy metabolism in view of sensorimotor reorganization. In addition to FDG, 15O-H2O was applied to evaluate the activation adaptation of post-SCI cerebrum. 13N-NH3 was also used to study the cerebral blood flow by its concentration in brain tissue. Recently the alteration of regional cerebral blood flow was visualized by brain SPECT. We want to know the impact of spinal lesion and function impairment on brain activation in patients with SCI. 6-[18F]fluorodopa (18F-FDOPA) is indicator of brain presynaptic dopaminergic function, which can be used to evaluate the changes of brain dopamine. WE will use 18F-FDOPA-PET to investigate its difference among the SCI and control group.
