title: Comparison of radionuclide and computed tomography scanning in non-neoplastic intracranial disease.
abstract: In this comparison of computed tomography (CT) and radionuclide scanning (RN) in non-neoplastic disease, the CT and RN patterns in vascular occlusive disease, vascular anomalies, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infections, and trauma are described in detail. A retrospective evaluation of CT and RN findings in 514 patients provides a basis for determining which modality is more sensitive in a given disease entity. Illustrative cases demonstrate pertinent findings in both CT and RN scanning in the aforementioned disease categories.
