✦ Synopsis
It has been shown that intravenously injected pertechnetate enters to CSF space and also that a transport of pertechnetate ions to the blood occurs when injected into the ventricles. Activity curves obtained by repeated samplings of CSF after intravenous injection of pertechnetate appears to differ at different levels of the intraventricular pressure but also in patients with different types of intracranial pathology, i.e. in patients with ventricular dilatation due to hydrocephalus and due to cerebral atrophy.

The CT attenuation change of the intraventricular CSF after i. v. administration of contrast material has been studied in 20 patients. A very small increase of attenuation was observed in the entire material. The method does not seem to be appropriate at present for the study of small attenuation ch
The relative differences between the behavior of 99mTc-pertechnetate (Tc) and both, non-diffusible and diffusible reference tracers in the head were evaluated by a statistical comparison of their time-activity curves in blood, brain and some tissues underlying the brain, after IV injection in the ra
Fifty-six patients presenting acute cerebral ischemia were investigated by means of 160 CT and 90 RN scans. CT was positive before contrast injection in 90% of cases. A total of 120 CTs were done before and after contrast injection. Only 31% of the isehemic areas were enhanced, Out of 90 RN scans, 5
