title: Myeloscintigraphic diagnostics of intramedullary space occupying processes.
abstract: This paper concerns the importance of myeloscintigraphy. A study method is presented and the advantages of using 169 Yb-EDTA are discussed. Myeloscintigraphy seems to be a sensitive and reliable diagnostic tool as is shown by the correlation of study results with surgical findings of 23 patients with intramedullary tumors.
