Perfusion macroaggregate brain scanning is now a routine diagnostic method in the National Institute of Neurology of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. There are on file more than 200 such studies using human albumin macroaggregates labeled with I131.
The authors discuss their results in 24 of these patients who were subsequently studied at autopsy.
The gross and microscopic features of the lesions found are described and compared with the brain scan impression.
No signs were noted which would indicate that this technique might bring about damage to the brain parenchyma.
