background: imaging studies performed in research centers suggest a high prevalence of brain structural abnormalities in patients with epilepsy. however, the results of research studies may not be directly applicable to general clinic, because they may perform on patients with high probability of cerebral abnormalities. on the other hand, more advanced modalities are likely to be used in resear...

Introduction: 99mTc-MIBI has been proposed for use as an imaging agent for various tumors, including breast cancer, lung cancer, lymphomas, melanomas and brain neoplastic lesions. Brain tumors are very common and radiotherapy being major part of treatment following surgery.
