  • Title: The role of nuclear medicine in neurology and psychiatry.
    Author: Ell PJ, Costa DC.
    Journal: Curr Opin Neurol Neurosurg; 1992 Dec; 5(6):863-9. PubMed ID: 1467580.
    Abstract:
    Nuclear medicine has a place in the study of brain trauma, brain tumours, stroke, dementia epilepsy and depression. The development of new tracers labelled with widely available radionuclides, such as technetium-99m (99Tc) and iodine-123, has played a key role here. Practical methodology can now be implemented in the routine setting. Additional applications are reviewed in the context of brain death, encephalitis, post-viral fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.
