Results of radioisotope photoscans and diagnostic neuroradiological procedures performed in 167 patients with suspected brain tumors led to the conclusion that correct identification of the intracranial process can be obtained in a high proportion of cases by the proper selection of available diagnostic techniques. The radioisotope photoscan had a relative diagnostic accuracy nearly equal to that of the neuroradiological techniques. The accuracy, taken with the relative ease and safety of the method, make it an ideal screening procedure in cases in which intracranial pathologic change is suspected.
对167例疑似脑肿瘤患者进行放射性同位素扫描和诊断性神经放射学检查的结果表明,通过合理选择现有的诊断技术,在很大比例的病例中能够正确识别颅内病变。放射性同位素扫描的相对诊断准确性几乎与神经放射学技术相当。鉴于该方法相对简便且安全,其准确性使其成为疑似颅内病理改变病例的理想筛查程序。
