Alteration of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in heroin users
under methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) had been
reported but the acute effect before and after methadone
administration is still less known. The purpose of this
study is to investigate the acute changes of CBF in MMT
subjects one hour before and after methadone
administration by using arterial spin labeling perfusion
MRI, and their relationships with history of heroin
usage and methadone treatment.
