    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Intracraniale Verkalkungen kommen bei zahlreichen Krankheiten vor. Beiderseitige idiopathische Kalkablagerungen finden sich zumeist im Globus pallidus. Zur Entdeckung intracranialer Verkalkungen ist die Computertomographie den konventionellen Röntgenaufnahmen des Schädels überlegen. Die Symptome der Patienten waren aber oft durch ganz andere Befunde begründbar. Verkalkungen in Basalganglien bilden keine nosologische Einheit und sie sind kein alleiniger Grund zu invasiven diagnostischen Maßnahmen.
    Notes: Summary Intracranial calcifications are attributed to many diseases. The globus pallidus is almost always the site of bilateral idiopathic calcium deposits. Computed tomography is superior to conventional skull radiographs in detecting intracranial calcifications. Patients had symptoms that were often explained by other findings. Basal ganglia calcification alone is not a nosological entity and does not justify invasive diagnostic procedures.

    Notes: Summary Pulmonary to systemic flow ratios (Qp/Qs) were estimated by quantitative radionuclide angiocardiography (QRAC) in 135 children. The Qp/Qs ratios were derived from pulmonary time/activity curves using a gamma variate model. Eighty-five of these children also had Qp/Qs ratios estimated by oximetry at cardiac catheterization. Left-to-right shunts with a Qp/Qs range of 1.2 to 3.0 were detected and quantitated by radionuclide angiography with an accuracy similar to that for oximetry. The correlation between Qp/Qs, determined by QRAC and by oximetry was good (r=.93; SEE .31). This relatively noninvasive technique has now been used to estimate the Qp/Qs ratio in 34 children with a clinically suspected left-to-right shunt, and postoperatively in 16 cases with residual murmurs; it has obviated the need for catheterization in many of these patients. The technique may also be used serially to determine changes in the Qp/Qs ratio in patients with known left-to-right shunts.
