67Ga scintigraphy was performed in 49 patients with fever of unknown origin (FUO). Positive findings were observed in 25 patients out of 49 (51%). Occult focal lesions were demonstrated in 4 patients and useful information for the diagnosis was provided in 4 patients. In short, the examination showed diagnostic usefulness in 8 (32%) out of positive cases. 67Ga scintigraphy may be recommended as a further examination for patients with strongly suspected focal lesion in FUO.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
