[Gallium scintigraphy of gynecologic neoplasms]. 1987

M Asmussen, and A Andresen, and M Lindegaard

67Gallium whole body scintigraphy was applied in 16 patients with gynecological malignomas and 2 patients with suspicion on a recurrent tumour as a supplement to usual diagnostic procedure. Aim of this study was the detection of metastases earlier than with the usual methods. Scintigraphy results have been interpreted average of 5 years after examination. Additional clinical informations were necessary in 6 cases. 3 out of these 6 cases have been shown in detail.

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.
