Popis: In order to assess the diagnostic usefulness of combined functional and morphological isotopic investigations of brain vascularization after intravenous injection of a bolus 99mTc pertechnetate, the authors explored, besides a control group, patients with acute cerebrovascular disease, angiomas, aneurysms and intracerebral hematomas. Combined flow evaluation and visualization of the intracerebral bolus transit was highly effective in patients with cerebrovascular disease. Angiomas with a diameter of 2 cm or more are always visible, the abnormal vascularization of the affected hemisphere being correctly evaluated. Cerebral aneurysms are frequently missed by angioscintigraphy. Intracerebral hematoma generally gives false negative results.
