Assessment of glioma viability by estimating 201Tl SPET tumour uptake volume.

abstract：:21 patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome were investigated through radionuclide imaging and body surface mapping. Ventricular preexcitation was localized by display of identical phase ventricular regions (phase display). In 79% of the cases radioisotope and body surface mapping methods have identical resu...
