INTRODUCTION:
The aim of this study was to establish the value of thalium-(201) single-photon emission computed tomography ((201)Tl-SPECT) in the detection of recurrences in the follow-up of patients with treated primary neuroepithelial tumours. MATERIAL AND
METHODS:
Sixty-three (201)Tl-SPECT were performed in 36 patients with glioma (12 males, mean age of 46 +/- 13 years). All patients underwent surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy (and some of them received chemotherapy). All patients were submitted to morphological neuroimagingtechniques as well (and (201) Tl-SPECT). Mean follow-up was 18.3 +/- 14.6 months. Gold standard was based on clinical follow-up, therapeutical decisions (at least 4 months after (201)Tl-SPECT) and imaging features.
