Brain scanning in oligodendrogliomas: a detailed neuropathology-scan correlation of 34 histologically verified cases.

Thirty-six brain scans and biopsies from 34 patients with histologically verified oligodendrogliomas were evaluated. Twenty-nine of the 36 scans were positive (80.6%) but the abnormal uptake produced by these neoplasms had no distinguishing features. The levels of endothelial proliferation-vascularity, necrosis, and mitoses were significantly different between the positive and negative scans. In the oligodendrogliomas, the relationship between histologic malignancy, detectability on scan, and prognosis remains unresolved.

Clinical experience with 99mTc-DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid), a new renal-imaging agent.

Results are reported from the clinical evaluation of a new radiopharmaceutical for renal imaging, 99mTc-DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid). Sixty-five patients were studied and six of these patients' scintiphotos are illustrated. The physical characteristics of 99mTc and the mercurial-like kinetics of the chelate produced high-resolution scintiphotos of the renal parenchyma in patients of all ages and with a variety of disease entities. The commercial availability of the material in kit form permits its usage in all nuclear medicine facilities.
