DTPA-Sn-99 mTc is an excellent radionuclide for brain scintigraphy procedures with a rapid blood clearance through glomerular filatration. No previous preparation of the patient is necessary. We have studied forty nine patients with primary or metastatic brain tumours as well as calvarium metastases. There have been five false negatives. We have found three types of scintigraphic patterns depending on whether the lesion is better visualized in early or late images, or does not change throughout the study. The sequential brain study, obtaining views at five minutes, and at one and two hours post-injection allows for an adequate morphological characterization of the lesion and occasionally, a histological diagnosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008579 Meningioma A relatively common neoplasm of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that arises from arachnoidal cells. The majority are well differentiated vascular tumors which grow slowly and have a low potential to be invasive, although malignant subtypes occur. Meningiomas have a predilection to arise from the parasagittal region, cerebral convexity, sphenoidal ridge, olfactory groove, and SPINAL CANAL.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
