  • Title: [Decimeter radiothermometry in the diagnosis of brain tumors].
    Author: Gustov AV, Troitskiĭ VS, Arzhanov NI, Siz'mina LK, Tseĭtlina VN.
    Journal: Zh Vopr Neirokhir Im N N Burdenko; 1986; (1):27-31. PubMed ID: 3485867.
    Abstract:
    The authors used a new noninvasive method, decimeter radiothermometry, to measure cerebrocranial temperature in 68 patients with brain tumors. It made it possible to study the mean temperature of a tissue layer situated at a depth of 3-5 cm from the surface to an accuracy of up to +/- 0.1 degrees C. Temperature anomaly at the site of the tumor projection was revealed in three fourths of cases, mainly when it was localized laterally. Cerebrocranial temperature was compared with the morphological structure of the tumor. The diagnostic value of the method in tumors of the brain is demonstrated.
