Results of brain scanning with different radioisotopes (99m Tc-PP, 99m Tc-DTPA, 67Ga citrate). Part 1: Study of meningiomas.
A comparison of the results obtained by 99m Tc-DTPA, 99m Tc-PP and 67Ga-citrate scanning in ten meningioma patients is reported. The association of conventional brain scanning, bone scanning and "tumor-positive" scanning makes it possible to identify the primary tumor, its real extent, the perifocal damage and the contiguous bone damage.
