Popis:	SummaryBrain scintigraphy with 99mmTc pertechnetate and subsequently with 6 7Ga citrate was carried out in 55 selected patients. Among 29 patients with normal 99mTc scintigrams, eleven suffered from intracranial tumours and in five of these, visualization of the tumour was obtained by means of 6 7Ga scintigraphy.Of 20 patients who showed abnormal 99mTc scintigrams as well as abnormal 6 7Ga scintigrams, eighteen suffered from intracranial tumours and two from infectious lesions of the brain.The remaining six patients who had abnormal 99mTc scintigrams but normal 6 7Ga scintigrams all suffered from vascular insults of the brain.It is concluded that 6 7Ga citrate often accumulates in tumours which are missed by 99mTc scintigraphy, and that 6 7Ga is not accumulated in areas of vascular insults of the brain as is 99mTc.
