Pretherapy Gallium-67 scanning in paediatric patients with Hodgkin's disease.
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 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...

متن کاملDIAGNOSTIC METHODS MYOCARDIAL DISEASE Gallium-67 imaging in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and biopsy-proven myocarditis
Current standards for detection of myocarditis in a clinical setting rely on endomyocardial biopsy for accurate diagnosis. With this technique a subset of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy show unsuspected myocarditis histologically. Endomyocardial biopsy, despite its specificity, may lack sensitivity due to sampling error if the inflammation is patchy or focal. Therefore, inflammationsensit...
متن کاملDiagnostic efficiency of gallium 67 citrate scans in Hodgkin's disease.
The findings of 49 67Ga citrate scans were correlated with all clinical information obtained by other diagnostic modalities in untreated and treated patients with histopathologically proven Hodgkin's disease (539 sites). Eleven nodal and extranodal sites were analyzed in terms of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and, subsequently, by calculations of the posterior probability for the presence ...
