| Abstract: | The clinical usefulness of 67Ga-citrate whole body scanning is evaluated in 178 cases of the various diseases in a period of 1976-1978. The cases are 59 cases of thoracic lesions, 41 cases of head and neck lesions, 35 cases of abdominal, bone, and soft tissue lesions, and 43 cases of benign and malignant lymphoma. The clinical results and detectability of various known lesions are shown in tables 1, 2, 3 and 4. The detectability of unknown lesions of malignant lymphoma is shown in table 5. The study demonstrates the particular clinical values of 67Ga-citrate scan in detectability of unknown lesions to be in cases of malignant lymphoma. |
