  • Title: Gallium-67 scintigraphy as an aid in the detection of spinal epidural abscess.
    Author: Klein M, Ahn CS, Drum DE, Tow DE.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1994 Sep; 19(9):761-2. PubMed ID: 7982305.
    Abstract:
    Gadolinium-enhanced MRI is considered the study of choice for diagnosing spinal epidural abscess (SEA). Most of such cases, however, are not suspected initially, and thus do not benefit from the procedure. A case of SEA is described in which positive Ga-67 scintigraphy shortly before onset of lower extremity dysfunction was instrumental in obtaining an emergency gadolinium-enhanced MRI and establishing the diagnosis.
