Description

Gamma-topography of the brain as a differential diagnostic method permits the recognition of an inflammatory process and specification of its localization. Altogether 61 patients were investigated: abscesses of the brain (36 patients, of them 16 children); focal arachnoencephalitides (14 patients, of them 5 children); arachnoiditides (11 patients). Due to its simplicity, small radiation exposure and noninvasive character of the method gamma-topography can be recommended in outpatient clinics and hospitals both for children and adults
