title: [The role of cerebral serial scintigraphy within the noninvasive diagnosis of cerebral diseases (author's transl)].
abstract: Based on findings obtained from 442 patients with various cerebral diseases by comparative evaluation of cerebral serial scintigraphy (cSS) and cranial axial compouted transmission tomography (T-CAT), a scheme is introduced which illustrates reasonable employment of cSS in combination with T-CAT in patients presumed to have (a) "intracranial tumor", (b) "cerebrovascular disease" or (c) "unspecific symptoms". Concerning group (a), T-CAT should primarily be employed; as to groups (b) and (c), cSS is recommended to be the first study.
