β¦ Synopsis
Technetium brain scans and seintiphotos made in a series of 300 patients, harbouring 100 brain lesions, were blindly reviewed and compared. The overall accuracy of the .original readings had been 84.5%. --In this series scanning turned out to be more reliable than scintiphotography, either with or without the use of a 1600-channel analyzer, although in a few cases the reverse was true. --Photoscope images, apart from their size and translucency, were found to be no gain. Multichannel analyzing is an advantage, but has not yet made scanning dispensable. We recommend that every negative camera study be followed by conventional scintigraphy.
Vergleich von Hirnszintigraphie und Szinti-.Fotografie bei cerebralen Lgtsionen
Zusammenfassung. Bei 300 Patienten (davon 100 Ki~anke mit cerebralen L~sionen) wurde eine Hirnszintigraphie und eine Szinti-Fotografie durchgefiihrt und ohne Kenntnis klinischer Daten ausgewertet. Dabei betrug die diagnostische Genauigkeit 84,5%. In der vorliegenden Untersuchungsserie ergab die Szintigrafie die zuverl~ssigeren Resultate. Es wird gefordert, dal] jedes negative Ergebnis der Gamma-Kamera durch die Szintigraphie kontrolliert werden sollte.
