  • Title: Diagnostic value of gallium-67 in malignant lymphoma.
    Author: Makoski HB, Teske HJ, Becker G.
    Journal: Acta Radiol Ther Phys Biol; 1976 Aug; 15(4):321-8. PubMed ID: 983781.
    Abstract:
    The results of lymphangiography and other radiologic procedures are compared with those obtained by 67Ga scintigraphy in staging of 27 patients with Hodgkin's disease and 31 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A high degree of correlation was found between lymphangiography and 67Ga scintigraphy. Exact localization, however, was only possible by lymphangiography. In some cases, the extent of disease found on scanning appeared to be smaller compared to radiography. Within the chest 67Ga scintigraphy and conventional radiography give almost similar results. Differentiation between neoplastic and inflammatory lymph node involvement is impossible.
