Gallium-67 imaging in lymphoma: tricks of the trade.
OBJECTIVE Although the use of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET for evaluating lymphoma is gaining in popularity, PET is not yet universally available and large prospective comparisons between 67Ga and 18F-FDG PET scans in predicting the long-term outcome after treatment are lacking. Scintigraphic imaging with 67Ga remains an important tool in evaluating the response of lymphoma to therapy. Ther...
متن کامل[Usefulness of gallium-67 scintigraphy in diagnosing pyothorax-associated lymphoma].
Two cases of pyothorax-associated malignant lymphoma were reported. The presence of chronic tuberculous pyothorax after thoracoplasty and the development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma on the chest wall are closely related. Both patients had suffered from tuberculous pyothorax for more than thirty years, and developed new painful chest wall tumors. CT and MRI delineated both malignant lymphoma and p...
متن کاملComputed tomography, magnetic resonance and gallium 67 scintigraphy for the imaging of residual lymphoma.
he introduction of computed tomography (CT) has greatly improved lymphoma staging procedures and is presently the most common and most important radiologic technique employed for this purpose and for evaluating the response to treatment. However, since CT only gives an anatomic measure of the tumor, in some cases (particularly those with bulky mediastinal involvement), it is not useful in disti...

This is the first in a series of four continuing education articles on AIDS patient management and care. This article is designed to present an overview of complications due to the AIDS virus and the use of nuclear medicine techniques to assist in patient management. Upon completion of this article the technologist will be able to: I) identify complications due to the AIDS virus,· 2) recognize ...
متن کاملSensitivity of gallium scintigraphy for evaluation of recurrent lymphoma: Comparison of planar and SPECT imaging
Introduction: Although PET scanning using F-18[FDG] is considered the superior radiotracer for tumnor imaging, Gallium-67 is still in use for some malignancies such as lymphoma and hepatoma. One of the strategies to improve the diagnostic accuracy of Gallium is to perform SPECT which is reported to be more sensitive compared to planar imaging. In this study we compa...
