Shunt function testing by radionuclide injection and shunt pressure measurement was performed in 312 cases. In our experience the test has a sensitivity of 92% and accuracy of 89%. The diagnostic value of the components of the test are discussed. The test is a safe and integral part of the assessment of shunt function. The significance of shunt malfunction must of course be determined by clinical evaluation, measures of ventricular size by CAT scanning or ultrasound, and by continuous ICP recording. However the shunt function test combined with shunt pressure measurement is a safe and essential investigation of symptomatic shunt malfunction.
对312例患者进行了放射性核素注射分流功能测试和分流压力测量。根据我们的经验，该测试的灵敏度为92%，准确率为89%。文中讨论了该测试各组成部分的诊断价值。该测试是分流功能评估中安全且不可或缺的一部分。当然，分流功能障碍的重要性必须通过临床评估、计算机断层扫描（CAT）或超声测量脑室大小以及连续颅内压（ICP）记录来确定。然而，分流功能测试结合分流压力测量是对有症状分流功能障碍进行安全且必要的检查。
