OSTI ID:4118808

A brain scan and electroencephalogram are often used in combination to evaluate patients with neurologic symptoms. Because an electroencephalogram may result in minor scalp trauma and localized radionuclide accumulation, the brain scan should be carried out first or delayed 48 hours after the electroencephalogram.
