57Co-bleomycin and 67Ga-citrate in detecting and staging lung cancer.
In the investigation of suspected lung cancer bleomycin labelled with cobalt-57 and gallium-67 labelled with citrate are currently used to detect the primary tumour and to establish the presence of metastases in the lung hilum and mediastinum. A comparative study of these radio-pharmaceuticals was performed in 63 patients with proved lung cancer. 57Co-bleomycin showed the primary tumour in 58 p...
متن کاملDouble-tracer scintigraphy with 67Ga-citrate and 99mTc-sulfur colloid in the diagnosis of hepatic tumors.
A method of liver scanning based on a subtraction technique with simultaneous use of two tracers, 67Ga-citrate and 99mTc-sulfur colloid, is described. The subtraction technique isolates radiogallium uptake by the space-occupying hepatic lesions by subtracting interference due to tracer uptake by healthy hepatic tissue. In 82 patients, the method yielded a correct result in 94.7% of the positive...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of 67Ga-scintigraphy in chest surgery.
Diagnostic value of 67Ga-scintigraphy in chest surgery. Gallium-67 (67Ga) has a high affinity for malignant tissue. The diagnostic value of 67Ga-scintigraphy for differentiating between malignant and benign disease was studied in 109 patients with lesions of the chest discovered by radiological examination. Histological diagnoses were obtained in all the patients after the study was concluded. ...
متن کاملEfforts to Improve the Images from 67Ga Whole-Body Scintigraphy
The acquisition method for planar 67Ga imaging has hardly changed for 30 years. In this study, in order to improve image quality and diagnostic accuracy, we take steps to optimize the acquisition method, and to choose a scatter correction. First, we acquired individual images from the 93 keV, 185 keV, and 300 keV photopeak; then the images were added together and compared to the individual imag...
متن کاملSomatostatin-receptor scintigraphy in primary breast cancer.
Somatostatin-receptor (SS-R) scintigraphy successfully shows primary cancers and distant metastases in most patients with carcinoids, islet cells tumours, and paragangliomas. Previous in-vitro studies indicated that somatostatin receptors are present in human breast cancers. We report positive scintigraphy with [111In-DTPA-D-Phe1]-octreotide in 39 of 52 primary breast cancers (75%). Parallel in...
