| Abstract: | For the establishment of the experimental system to judge easily the effect of anti-inflammatory drug, 67Ga-citrate was used. The weight of granuloma tissues induced by inflammable agent, turpentine oil, gradually increased and reached a maximum at 6 days after the administration of turpentine oil. Gallium-67 accumulation in the inflammatory lesions showed also a maximum at 6 days after that. Both patterns were closely similar each other. These results showed that the processes and/or stages of inflammation could be indicated by the pattern of 67Ga uptake. |
