Abstract
A investigation was undertaken to measure the presence of trace elements in some intracranial tumors using the instrumental neutron activation analysi s technique. The following 20 minor and trace elements were investigated: N a, Mg, Al, P, Cl, K, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Br, Rb, Sb, I, and Cs. Our results are compared with other trace element analyses in human br ain tissue.
