Acta Neurochirurgica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Radioactive sodium iodide was administered by mouth to 26 patients with intra-cranial tumours.

Using a system of scanning by a collimator, positive findings were obtained in 25 patients, the results were of localisatory value in 17 cases. The results are compared with those of EEG examination in the same patients.

Zusammenfassung

Radioaktives Natriumjodid wurde bei 26 Patienten mit intracraniellen Tumoren oral verabreicht.

Unter Verwendung eines Zählsystems mit einem Collimator waren bei 25 Patienten positive Befunde zu erheben, die in 17 Fällen von lokalisatorischem Wert waren. Die Befunde wurden mit den Ergebnissen der hirnelektrischen Untersuchung bei den gleichen Patienten verglichen.

Résumé

L'iodure de sodium fut donné per os chez 26 malades porteurs de tumeurs intracrâniennes.

A l'aide d'un système de détection par collimator, des résultats positifs furent obtenus chez 25 malades, les données concernant la localisation étant valables dans 17 cas. On compare ces résultats avec ceux obtenus par l'EEG chez les mêmes malades.

Riassunto

È stato somministrato per bocca in 26 pazienti portatori di tumore intracranico del ioduro di sodio radioattivo.

Usando un sistema di scanning mediante collimatore, sono stati ottenuti reperti positivi in 25 pazienti: i reperti avevano un valore localizzatorio in 17 casi. Viene fatto un paragone fra questi risultati e quelli di esami elettroencefalografici eseguiti negli stessi pazienti.

Resumen

Se administra yoduro sódico radiactivo por via oral a 26 enfermos con tumores intracraneales.

Usando un sistema de registre de colimación se obtuvieron hallazgos positivos en 25 enfermos y los resultados tuvieron valor de localización en 17 casos. Se comparan los resultados con los examenes EEG en los mismos enfermos.
