Dynamic/Static Brain Scintigraphy in Neonates

In order to acquaint physicians caring for newborn babies with the value of complementing static brain scintigraphy with the dynamic brain blood perfusion study, cases of intracerebral hemorrhage, cerebrovascular anomaly, and cerebral malformation are presented. This screening procedure is not only a safe, simple, quick adjunct to the clinical diagnostic impressions, but may on occasion obviate the need for the more precise, but more formidable, procedures of contrast angiography and pneumoencephalography.
