The effect of dexamethasone on the accumulation of iothalamate and 99mTc pertechnetate in cerebral tumors was investigated in 6 patients over a five-month period. Patients were examined by x-ray (transmission) computed tomography (CT) and by radionuclide (emission) computed tomography (RCT) prior to and during a course of dexamethasone therapy. Stenosis diminished the degree of accumulation of both agents but did not change the boundaries of their distribution.
