Magnetic resonance imaging, thallium-201 SPET scanning, and laboratory analyses for discrimination of cerebral lymphoma and toxoplasmosis in AIDS.
OBJECTIVES To compare the results of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and thallium-201 (201Tl) SPET scanning with laboratory analyses including CSF DNA detection, brain biopsy, and necropsy in the discrimination of cerebral lymphoma and toxoplasmosis in patients with AIDS. METHODS A retrospective study of 32 patients infected with HIV who had focal CNS lesions on MRI as a result of either lym...

UNLABELLED This study sought to assess whether 201Tl brain SPECT can significantly reduce the time required for the differential diagnosis of primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma and cerebral toxoplasmosis in patients with AIDS. METHODS Eighteen patients who presented with focal lesions on CT or MRI, or both, underwent 201Tl brain SPECT shortly after admission and before a CT-guided ...
متن کاملUse of thallium-201 brain SPECT to differentiate cerebral lymphoma from toxoplasma encephalitis in AIDS patients.
PURPOSE To determine whether thallium-201 brain single-photon emission CT could be used to make the distinction between central nervous system lymphoma and toxoplasma encephalitis, which may not be possible by routine MR and CT. METHODS A total of 37 patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who had intracranial mass lesions found during a 9-month prospective study by either MR or CT u...
