Résumé : The authors present the advantages of angio-scintigraphy in comparison with other investigations of neurological lesions of vascular origin. Cerebral angio-scintigraphy should occupy a growing position in the paraclinical investigations of neurology and of neurosurgery. It is more precise than classical scintigraphy in the early diagnosis of vascular accidents. As compared with angiography, it has the advantage of innocuousness and sufficient diagnostic precision for those cases where surgical therapy is not indicated. The simultaneous use of an electronic memory store and a multichannel analyser makes a quantitative approach possible. Furthermore, the possibility of storing information allows one to compare two successive examinations. This facility is useful in doubtful cases, when the human eye is incapable of appreciating slight differences in activity. © 1972 Springer-Verlag.
