Description

Gamma-ray angioencephalography and computerized tomography (CT) were used to explore 151 patients with suspected intracranial tumour. The reliability of each method for the aetiological, topographical and pathological diagnosis was evaluated. The results obtained showed that the two methods correlated well and supplemented each other, bringing the proportion of positive diagnosis of intracranial tumour to more than 90%. While CT remains the first-choice examination to detect expansive lesions, gamma-ray angioencephalography represents the finest physiopathological approach and provides the most precise information on the nature of the tumour

Abstract (French)

Cent cinquante et un malades suspects de tumeur intra-cranienne ont ete explores a la fois par gamma-angio-encephalographie et tomodensitometrie. La fiabilite de ces deux examens dans l'etablissement des diagnostics etiologique, topographique et de nature, a ete analysee. L'etude comparative a permis de rappeler leur bonne correlation et de souligner leur complementarite, portant a plus de 90% le diagnostic positif de tumeur intra-cranienne. Si la tomodensitometrie demeure l'examen de choix dans le depistage des processus expansifs, c'est la gamma-angio-encephalographie qui permet l'approche physiopathologique la plus fine et un diagnostic precis de nature
