  • Title: Diagnosis of mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm using 67-gallium citrate.
    Author: Blumoff RL, McCartney W, Jaques P, Johnson G.
    Journal: Am Surg; 1982 Nov; 48(11):601-3. PubMed ID: 6897346.
    Abstract:
    Mycotic aneurysms of the abdominal aorta are uncommon, but potentially lethal problems. Clinical subtleties may suggest their presence, but in the past, definitive diagnosis has been dependent on surgical exploration or autopsy findings. A case is presented in which 67-gallium citrate abdominal scanning localized the site of sepsis in an abdominal aortic aneurysm and allowed for prompt and successful surgical therapy. This noninvasive technique is recommended as a adjunct in the diagnosis of mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysms.
