title: [Gamma radionuclide topography of the brain in diagnosing inflammatory processes in children and adults].
abstract: Gamma topography of the brain as a differential diagnostic method permits the recognition of an inflammatory process and specification of its localization. It can be widely used in an outpatient setting (both for children and adults). Altogether 61 patients were investigated: abscesses of the brain (36 patients, of them 16 children); focal arachnoencephalitis (14 patients, of them 5 children); arachnoiditis (11 patients). Gamma topography of the brain makes it possible to clarify early topical diagnosis of a process. Due to its simplicity, small radiation exposure and noninvasive character of the method can be recommended in outpatient clinics and hospitals both for children and adults.
