[Skeletal scinitgraphy in neuroradiological diagnostics (author's transl)].

From a review of 52 selected cases showing neurologic symptoms, the possible use of skeletal scintigraphy for the purpose of neuroradiologic diagnostics is reported. The close relationship of the nervous system and surrounding structures with the skeletal system means that the skeletal system is often involved in nervous pathologic processes. Such involvement can be detected by skeletal scintigraphy which thus provides a vital aid to diagnosis and therapeutical planning. The basic methods and technical equipment in the field of scintigraphy are discussed.
