Cerebral scintigraphy in the diagnosis of meningioma.
The results of brain scanning in 64 patients with histologically proven meningiomas are presented, and the accuracy of this diagnostic method is assessed. The five false-negative scans are analysed. This virtually harmless technique frequently provides sufficient information for the diagnosis in patients in whom more traumatic investigations would otherwise have been unavoidable.
