Pulmonary uptake in 67-gallium citrate scintigraphy-the 'negative heart' sign.
Diffuse pulmonary uptake in 67-gallium citrate (67-Ga) scintigraphy occurs in a large number of neoplastic and inflammatory conditions. Discrimination between normal and abnormal 67-Ga uptake over the chest can be difficult and a simple visual method for identifying abnormal studies is described. A series of 39 gallium scintigrams was retrospectively reviewed by the authors and reported without...

متن کاملComparison of thallium-201 and gallium-67 citrate scintigraphy in the diagnosis of pulmonary disease.
Gallium is presently used in the diagnosis of inflammatory, granulomatous, and neoplastic lung disease despite its many logistical problems. In contrast, thallium-201 scintigraphy, which was initially developed for myocardial imaging, offers the principal advantage of immediate imaging and diagnosis although it had not been investigated previously for use in pulmonary disease. In this study, th...

متن کاملGallium-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...
