Two cases are described showing the value of Radioisotope Computerized Axial Tomography in the early detection of tumour recurrence in the brain. The possibility of recurrence could not be excluded from the information provided by the conventional views since the suspicious areas found could be due to post-operative uptake. In the first case, reliable identification of tumour recurrence was provided by the transverse section scan through the suspicious area. In the second case, the transverse scan showed the uptake to be due to previous craniotomy.
本文描述了两个病例，展示了放射性同位素计算机断层扫描在早期检测脑肿瘤复发中的价值。根据传统检查所提供的信息不能排除复发的可能性，因为所发现的可疑区域可能是术后摄取所致。在第一个病例中，通过对可疑区域进行横断面扫描，可靠地识别出了肿瘤复发。在第二个病例中，横断面扫描显示摄取是由先前的开颅手术引起的。
