Abstract
- The radioactive nucleid cisternography is being used as a diagnostic adjunct of CSF rhinorrhea and otorrhea, hydrocephalus, patency after ventricular shunt operation, brain tumor and congenital anomalies of the central nervous system. In numerous radioactive nucleids, 169Yb-DTPA is known to have moderately effective half life, high energy level for scintilation, and pure r-emitter in subarachnoid space. Authors review some clinical advantage of cisternography using 169Yb-DTPA applied in the diagnosis of CSF rhinorrhea and otorrhea, hydrocephalus, CSF fistula and patency after ventricular shunt operation.
