Transversal emission computerised axial tomography (ECAT) was performed in addition to bioptic examination in 113 patients with solid tumours and lyphomas. In 69/113 (61%) patients the results of conventional scintigraphy and ECAT were in agreement. In 44/113 (39%) patients additional information was obtained. Correct positive and correct negative results were found in 86.3% (63.6% and 22.7%, respectively), while in 13.6% the results were false positive or false negative (6.8% both).
