Abstract
99mTechnetium as pertechnetate has proven to be safe, rapid and reliable in our experience in posterior fossa scanning. Even in relatively avascular cysts or cystic tumors there can be visualization. The relative uptake of 99mTc provides an in dication of vascularity and, indirectly, of relative malignancy.Keywords
