چکیده
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the usefulness of gallium-67 citrate (67Ga) and technetium-99m tetrofosmin (Tc-TF) scan to detect Hodgkin's disease (HD). METHODS In this study, 24 patients with HD underwent 67Ga and Tc-TF scan before receiving any therapy. RESULTS 67Ga scan could detect HD in all 24 (100%) patients. Tc-TF scan could detect HD in 22/24 (91.6%) patients, but it was false-negative in one case of infradiaphragmatic HD and in another case with chemotherapy resistance. There was no significant difference in detection sensitivity between 67Ga and Tc-TF scan. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that Tc-TF scan can not replace conventional 67Ga scan to detect HD.

A comparative study of the parts played by technetium-99m diphosphonate and gallium-67 citrate bone scanning in the early diagnosis of infectious spondylodiscitis is presented. Nineteen patients were included in the study. All patients (11 men aged 19-70 years and eight women aged 18-72 years) had a history of back pain varying in duration from one to 15 weeks. A 99mTc diphosphonate bone scan w...

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...
