  • Title: 67Gallium in 68 consecutive infection searches.
    Author: Harvey WC, Podoloff DA, Kapp DT.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1975 Jan; 16(1):2-4. PubMed ID: 1110401.
    Abstract:
    When employed in the study of peripheral infections, 67Ga scanning is sensitive and accurate. When used as a diagnostic tool for suspected abdominal abscesses, it locates and delineates abscesses in somewhat over half the cases. Moreover, the true-negative rate is high and the false-positive rate is acceptably low. Gallium scans should be interpreted with all available clinical information. The coexistence of noeplasm is a problem which at present is not completely resolved.
