Comparative Study Clinical Trial

Comparison between contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and technetium 99m glucohepatonic acid single photon emission computed tomography with histopathologic correlation in gliomas.

: To determine and compare the accuracy of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Technetium 99m glucohepatonic acid single photon emission computed tomography (Tc-GHA SPECT) in grading of gliomas, compared with neuropathologic findings. ⋯ : The accuracy of contrast-enhanced MRI in the distinction of high- and low-grade malignancy was higher than that of Tc-GHA SPECT. The performance of Tc-GHA SPECT adds little in determining tumor grade when MRI is performed. However, it may act as a useful adjunct to differentiate between grades III and IV gliomas.
