Complementary roles of radionuclide scintigraphy and transmission computed tomography in the diagnosis of intracranial disease.
Transmission computed tomography (TCT) is a very useful technique for detection of intracranial disease, but radionuclide (RN) scintigraphy also has a place and is cheaper. The best results are however obtained by using both diagnostic techniques in a complementary manner. It may be possible one day to combine the two techniques and produce an in vivo autoradiograph.
