However, the use of Ga-citrate to detect an infected dissecting aortic aneurysm has rarely been reported. We report an unusual case of scintigraphic detection of infected dissecting aortic aneurysm with Ga-citrate and altered biodistribution of Ga is noted after treatment with antibiotic drug.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell neoplasm with skeletal destruction which could also spread to extramedullary regions. Common diagnostic imaging modalities include skeletal radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Recently, PET/CT is proposed as an ideal tomographic tool for diagnosis and follow-up, but impending factors includes high cost, limited availabi...
