Cerebral scintigraphy--the phoenix rises again.
This paper reviews the development of cerebral scintigraphy from its early days of planar imaging with simple technetium-99m labelled compounds to the recent revival of the technique in the form of positron-emission and single-photon emission tomography. A short explanation of instrumentation and radiopharmaceuticals is given as a prelude to a description of both techniques in normal and pathol...
متن کاملThe value of metrizamide CT cisternography in the management of cerebral arachnoid cysts.
Arachnoid cysts may or may not communicate with the cerebrospinal fluid pathways. Patterns of communication were studied in six patients, using metrizamide computed tomography (CT) cisternography, ventriculography, and cystography. Two types of cysts were found: one with free communication with the cerebrospinal fluid pathways and one with restricted communication. This information can be usefu...

متن کاملProgressive supranuclear palsy and In111-DTPA cisternography.
Three cases of progressive supranuclear palsy are reported in which In111-DTPA cisternography showed slow diffusion, ventricular reflux and failure of isotope clearance. The clinical diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy was confirmed histologically in two of these patients. The possible causes of the cisternographic changes and their relationship to the changes of CSF dynamics in progres...
متن کاملBrainstem evaluation with CT cisternography.
Seventy-eight positive contrast computed tomography (CT) cisternograms were reviewed to assess the normal anatomy of the brainstem and its surrounding cisterns. Normal brainstem and cisternal anatomy was found to be constant and symmetrical. The review included six patients with brainstem gliomas and five patients with extraaxial masses. In these patients CT cisternography accurately identified...
