ABSTRACT

Intravenous potassium perchlorate pretreatment has been found to be safe and effective in doses of 2.7 mg in reducing choroid plexus accumlation of 99mTc-pertechnetate during brain scanning. Preliminary observations suggest that intravenous potassium perchlorate may enhance tumor visualization in some patients.
