Gallium-67 scanning in the differentiation of maxillary sinus carcinoma from chronic maxillary sinusitis. 1977

T Higashi, and W Aoyama, and Y Mori, and F R Everhart

Gallium-67 scans of 25 patients in whom the clinical symptoms and radiographic findings were suggestive of either maxillary sinus carcinoma or chronic sinusitis proved to be valuable in the differentiation between the two disease processes. Those patients with carcinoma had positive scans, while those with sinusitis had either negative or only weakly positive scans.
