Gallium scan detection of various neoplasms is tabulated by anatomic and histologic
categories. The experience with many neoplasms is sufficient to accurately predict the …

The use of gallium radionuclides in nuclear medicine dates back to the late 1940s, following
the observation in toxicologic studies that gallium tended to localize to a high degree at sites …

When carrier free gallium-67 is administered iv in citrate form for tumour scanning,
radioactivity remaining in serum after three hours, it cannot be removed by ultrafiltration …

Whole-body retention, organ distribution, excretion, and serum binding of 67Ga were
evaluated in rats under normal conditions and following whole-body gamma irradiation …

A brief review has been made of the uses of radioisotopes of gallium and recent reports of
tumour scanning with 67Ga citrate. In our own work 25 patients have been scanned 48–72 …

IT IS generally believed that after intravenous administration of trace amounts of 67Ga, the
radionuclide is bound to plasma proteins, chiefly transferrin. However, there is some …

There is some disagreement in the literature about the tumour affinity and tumour specificity
of gallium-67 (67Ga). The present investigation showed good uptake of 67Ga in most cases …

The kinetics of 67 Ga localization within inflammatory lesions were investigated in leukemic
patients and experimental animals. In clinical studies, 4 of 5 histologically proved abscesses …
