[Comparison of CT, scintigraphy, and angiography in the topographic and pathological diagnosis of 300 supratentorial tumors (author's transl)].

The results of CT, scintigraphy (CSS), and angiography in 300 supratentorial cerebral tumors were compared with regard to the topographic and pathological diagnosis proposed in the initial reports. CT elucidated the topography in 98% of the cases and the pathology in variable percentages, depending on the type of tumor. The use of scintigraphy provided a high accuracy of pathological diagnosis. Except for meningiomas, arteriography was less accurate than the two other methods of examination. A radiological management of supratentorial cerebral tumors is proposed based on clinical and CT data.
