Mismatch between gallium-67 uptake and CT findings in a case of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
Gallium-67 citrate (67Ga) scintigraphy has been used as an indicator of activity of diffuse interstitial lung diseases. However, little has been mentioned in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). Here we present a 53-year-old man with PAP showing patchy 67Ga uptake by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Interestingly, the strong 67Ga uptake was observed in areas where ground-gla...
متن کاملIncidence of gallium-67 citrate uptake in brown adipose tissue in neonates
*Author for correspondence:rajan. [email protected] Aims: Increased 18F-flurodeoxyglucose uptake within active brown adipose tissue (BAT) on an 18F-flurodeoxyglucose PET/CT study is a known pitfall that has been well described in the literature. We have noted a similar phenomenon occurring in gallium-67 studies performed on neonates, which introduces an undesirable element of complexity when ev...
متن کاملUptake of gallium-67 by the hepatocytes during liver regeneration in carbon tetrachloride-treated mice.
Gallium-67 (67Ga) has been used as a tumor or inflammation-imaging agent in nuclear medicine. We recently reported that the peak of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level was 1 d after carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) treatment in rats. However, the peak of 67Ga uptake by the liver tissue and hepatocytes was 2 d after the treatment. If 67Ga is taken in the hepatic disorder phase, the pattern of ...
متن کاملGallium-67 Uptake in Histological Variants of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma – A Correlative Study
Introduction: The malignant lymphomas are the fifth most common neoplasm in both men and women. Staging, re-staging and treatment response evaluation pose a difficult task in many patients of lymphomas. Histological variants in both Hodgkin’s and Non-Hodgkin’s types of lymphoma greatly affect the response to treatment and overall prognosis. Objective: This study was conducted to correlate the d...
متن کاملGallium-67 scintigraphy in polymyalgia rheumatica.
A patient with atypical presentation of polymyalgia rheumatica is presented. Her major symptoms were mild weakness, pain on passive movement of the shoulder and hip girdles, with mild tenderness but no joint stiffness. Muscle enzymes were within the normal range. The diagnostic work-up included gallium-67 scintigraphy, which showed intense uptake in both shoulders, with remarkable improvement f...
