Evaluation of Diagnostic Value of CT Scan and MRI in Brain Tumors and Comparison with Biopsy
Abstract Background Cerebral neoplasm arises from brain, spinal cord and meningeal cells. Not only malignant cerebral neoplasm also benign tumor could lead to death due to mass effect on vital structures. Access to these tumors is difficult, and MRI and CT scan could be helpful in determining anatomical location of tumors and distinction of malignant from benign. Objective For better and ea...
متن کامل[Intestinal constipation in patients with intracranial tumors].
The effort that occurs during the Valsalva maneuver provokes a raise in intracranial pressure and may decompensate patients with increased intracranial pressure. The aims of this study were to evaluate the incidence of intestinal constipation in the preoperative period of patients with intracranial tumors and establish a relationship between constipation and intracranial pressure decompensation...
متن کاملImaging using Tc99m-tetrofosmin for the detection of the recurrence of brain tumour: a comparative study with Tc99m-glucoheptonate.
BACKGROUND In the past "blood-brain barrier" agents such as Tc99m-glucoheptonate were routinely used for the diagnosis of brain tumours. Of late, agents used for studying myocardial perfusion namely, Tc99m-tetrofosmin, Thallium-201, and Tc99m-sestamibi have replaced the "blood-brain barrier agents " when imaging is undertaken for the detection of the recurrence of brain tumours. However, the in...
