Summary

A comparison of the results obtained by 99mTc-DTPA, 99mTc-PP and 67Ga-citrate scanning in ten meningioma patients is reported. The association of conventional brain scanning, bone scanning and “tumor-positive” scanning makes it possible to identify the primary tumor, its real extent, the perifocal damage and the contiguous bone damage.

Résumé

Les auteurs comparent les résultats de la scintigraphie cérébrale avec 99mTc-DTPA, 99mTc-PP et 67Ga-citrate dans 10 cas de meningiome. L'association de la scintigraphie cérébrale conventionnelle, de la scintigraphie osseuse et de la scintigraphie “néoplastique positive” consent d'individualiser le foyer néoplastique, l'extension, le damage periphocale et l'altération osseuse concomitante.

Zusammenfassung

Die Verfasser vergleichen die abgegebenen Ergebnisse von 99mTc-DTPA, 99mTc-PP und 67Ga-citrate bei 10 Patienten, von Meningiom befallen. Die Vereinigung der üblichen Hirn-Szintigraphie, der Knochen-Szintigraphie und der “positiven Tumor-Szintigraphie” erlauben die Identifizierung des ursprünglichen Tumors, seiner wirklichen Ausdehnung, des perifokalen Schadens und der angrenzenden Knochen-Veränderung.
