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 …

A variety of factors contribute to the utilization of these nuclides. The first and foremost are
the useful physical characteristics of the radionuclide. These characteristics have prompted …

Difficulties in scanning are encountered with 47Ca because of the high energy of its
principal gamma ray (1.3 MeV). Strontium-85 has a lower gamma-ray energy (0.51 MeV) but …

The large number of publications dealing with biokinetics, metabolism and factors
influencing tissue uptake of 67 Ga-citrate could not clarify the mechanism responsible for the …

RESULTS of studies of the distribution of gallium and its excretion pattern and toxicity in
experimental animals have been reported by Dudley and associates 1 and by King and …

It has previously been shown, chemically and autoradiographically, that gallium enters bone
at a rapid rate, following injection of the citrate or lactate, concentrating in those areas …

Radioautographs of bones of rabbits treated with radiogallium (Ga72) strengthen the
hypothesis that gallium is a useful tool for the study of bone metabolism. Gallium is …

A method employing paper chromatography has been used to assess the stability of several
Ga-68 labeled radiopharmaceuticals in basic, neutral and acidic solutions. Ascending paper …

Hoffer, Huberty, and Khayam-Bashi, in their paper entitled" The Association ofGallium-67
with Lactoferrin"(pp. 713-717, this issue), have added an interesting observation on the …

Excerpt I. INTRODUCTION This study was initiated to determine whether or not radioactive
gallium would prove to be of value as a method for radio-isotope tracer studies and/or as a …
