Gallium-67 scintigraphy in lung diseases.
There is some disagreement in the literature about the tumour affinity and tumour specificity of gallium-67 (6VGa). The present investigation showed good uptake of 67Ga in most cases of bronchial carcinoma, but some uptake of 67Ga was also found in 30% of those with non-malignant lung lesions. There was no relationship between the uptake of 17Ga and the histo-logical type of bronchial carcinoma...
متن کاملToxic-oil syndrome. Gallium-67 scanning and bronchoalveolar lavage studies in patients with abnormal lung function.
The toxic-oil syndrome (TOS) is a multisystem disorder whose etiology and pathogenesis are as yet unknown. Lung alterations persist in a significant number of TOS patients due to the underlying vascular lesion. Computer-assisted 67Ga scanning and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) studies were performed in 14 TOS patients with sustained abnormal diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (Dco). No signif...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between gallium-67 (67Ga) uptake and histological subtypes of Hodgkin's disease (HD) in paediatric patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Fifty-eight patients (45 males and 13 females aged 9.2 +/- 4 years, range 1.5-17 years) with histologically diagnosed HD underwent pretherapy 67Ga scanning on days 2, 5, 12 or 14 days after intravenous administration of 25-5...

متن کاملGallium-67 scanning in the staging of cryptogenetic fibrosing alveolitis and hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Gallium-67 citrate is known to localize within inflammatory sites. Gallium-67 scanning is used for the evaluation of lung inflammation (i.e. alveolitis) during interstitial lung diseases. We investigated 27 patients with cryptogenetic fibrosing alveolitis (n = 17) and hypersensitivity pneumonitis (n = 10) using gallium-67 lung scanning and lung function tests (forced vital capacity, diffusing c...
