Abstract:
3.36,P30 voxels). Radioactive increases in BA11,44,8,9,45,left globus pallidus,orbital gyrus,frontal lobe and cerebellar hemisphere. Radioactive decreases in BA18,19,25,right post limb of internal capsule and periaqueductal gray matter.To these metabolizing changes of brain, radioactive increases in globus pallidus,orbital,frontal gyrus, cerebellar hemisphere and Radioactive decreases in bilateral occipital lobes,callosum were considered as the response to the acupuncture modulating within the human brain.Conclusion PET/CT imaging of brain function is useful method in exploring acupuncture mechanisms of brain.
