Ga-67 and abdominal CT scans of a 72-year-old woman who had malignant lymphoma before, during, and after gallium nitrate/hydroxyurea combination therapy are presented. Disappearance of Ga-67 uptake by the tumor during this treatment despite continuing CT evidence of disease and reappearance of Ga-67 scan abnormalities after cessation of therapy suggests that caution should be exercised when interpreting results of Ga-67 scintigraphy for the detection of tumor viability during gallium nitrate/hydroxyurea therapy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.
