Mercury-197 and Mercury-203 Chlormerodrin for Evaluation of Brain Lesions Using a Rectilinear Scanner and Scintillation Camera²

Minneapolis, Minnesota

ABSTRACT

1) The results were presented of 432 patients conventionally scanned with ¹⁹⁷Hg-chlormerodrin were studied in a retrospective blind study.

2) Forty-two patients in which ²⁰³Hg-chlormerodrin and ¹⁹⁷Hg-chlormerodrin was used as the radioactive agent were studied, and no significant difference in percentage of positive examinations was found.

3) 107 patients, after receiving ¹⁹⁷Hg-chlormerodrin, were studied using both the scintillation camera and rectilinear scanning techniques. A comparison of the two methods used consecutively revealed that each gave information verifying the other and of essentially equal accuracy.
