Radioisotope scanning of the lungs with gallium 67 was performed in 13 patients whose radiological images were suggestive of pulmonary tuberculosis. The purpose of the study was to assess the value of that method as a complement to bacteriology in active pulmonary tuberculosis. Provided the lung tissue is not totally destroyed, gallium 67 is strongly taken up by the tuberculous lesions. However, scanning cannot be regarded as a routine examination, as it is costly and delivers a non-negligible dose of radiations. All it can do is to serve as a guide for more invasive investigations.
