Abstract
Until a few years ago, the value of diagnostic isotope investigations for the detection of tumors and other lesions of the cerebellum and the posterior fossa was controversial because of technical difficulties and the anatomical peculiarities of this area. Due to technical progress, the use of newer diagnostic isotopes, and greater experience in interpretation in recent years, it has become increasingly easier to allay the basic doubts expressed by many authors about the value of brain scans in the diagnosis of infratentorial lesions. In the meantime thoroughly satisfactory results have been achieved.
