  • Title: Gallium scanning in cerebral and cranial infections.
    Author: Waxman AD, Siemsen JK.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1976 Aug; 127(2):309-14. PubMed ID: 182012.
    Abstract:
    Eighteen patients with cranial or intracranial infections were studied with technetium and gallium brain scans. Seven of 18 lesions were noted with gallium and not with pertechnetate, while the reverse pattern was not seen. Brain abscesses were visualized with gallium but not with pertechnetate in two of five cases. Osteomyelitis of the skull and mastoiditis showed intense gallium uptake in all cases, meningitis or cerebritis gave inconsistent results.
