✓ The authors report their experience using digital and scintigraphic techniques simultaneously, with the application of two isotopes (mercury 197/203 and technetium-99m) of different tissue uptake. Basal supratentorial midline cerebral tumors (88 cases) and posterior fossa tumors (159 cases) could be diagnosed in over 90% of cases. This safe isotope investigation of the intracranial structures offers diagnostic help as a screening method before angiography and pneumoencephalography.

✓ A new isotopic method for the detection of cerebral tumors using labeled bleomycin is described. In a series of 104 patients, bleomycin was found superior to technetium-99m for the diagnosis of intracranial metastatic lesions; in 50% of the cases, bleomycin revealed metastases undetected by the Tc-99m, particularly in the posterior fossa. This method also provides valuable data for the differentiation of gliomas from metastases.
