  • Title: Pulmonary gallium-67 uptake in amiodarone pneumonitis.
    Author: van Rooij WJ, van der Meer SC, van Royen EA, van Zandwijk N, Darmanata JI.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1984 Feb; 25(2):211-3. PubMed ID: 6587027.
    Abstract:
    Three patients are presented suffering from interstitial pneumonitis caused by amiodarone. Pulmonary Ga-67 uptake occurred in all three. There appeared to be a discrepancy between the scintigraphic and radiographic findings in two patients. Gallium-67 lung scintigraphy may offer an early, sensitive indicator for amiodarone pneumonitis.
