title: Value of routine flow studies in nuclide brain scanning.
abstract: Nuclide brain scanning offers a noninvasive means of obtaining dynamic information about intracranial disease. Lesions which could be missed without the flow study are described, and other instances in which the differential diagnosis is greatly improved by the use of the vascular sequence are demonstrated. We recommend the routine use of the flow study when performing brain scans.
