β¦ Synopsis
A comparison of the results obtained by 99m Tc-DTPA, 99m Tc-PP and 67Ga-citrate scanning in ten meningioma patients is reported. The association of conventional brain scanning, bone scanning and "tumor-positive" scanning makes it possible to identify the primary tumor, its real extent, the perifocal damage and the contiguous bone damage.

Fourteen children with histopathologically confirmed neuroblastoma underwent 38 studies using 99mTc-methylene-diphosphonate (MDP) and galliumcitrate Ga67 whole-body scintigraphy during various stages of the disease. Ten patients (71%) showed 99mTc-MDP accumulation in the primary tumoral site, wherea
