[Scanographic evaluation of sarcoidosis of the respiratory organs using 67Ga citrate]. 1990

A T Sigaev, and L V Ozerova, and N G Khmel'kova

Scanographic examinations with the use of citrate 67Ga in patients with respiratory sarcoidosis made it possible to discover valid incidence, localization and evidence of a pathological process. In 54 (62.1%) out of 87 patients with the process in its active phase, a regional function of the lymph nodes and the lungs was identical to the clinically found phase of the process, while in 33 (37.9%) cases there were discrepancies both in its activity and absence. Besides, due to the scanographic examinations it was also possible to detect higher accumulation of the given radiopharmaceutical in the lymph nodes of 3 (9.1%) out of 33 patients characterized by a regressive and stabilized phase, thus confirming the process activity. In 23 (19.2%) out of 120 cases, extrapulmonary sites of the sarcoid process were revealed by means of citrate 67Ga.
