Cerebral dynamic studies for early detection of recurrent anaplastic intracranial gliomas.
The authors compared radionuclide cerebral dynamic studies, brain scans, and clinical evaluation as indicators of recurrence of intracranial anaplastic gliomas and found cerebral dynamic studies more sensitive to tumor growth than static brain scans. The former may show changes prior to clinical evidence of tumor progression.
