67Ga-subtraction scanning in Hodgkin's disease and lymphomas
Acta Radiol Oncol Radiat Phys Biol.
1978.
Abstract
Recently a new method was described, the 67Ga subtraction scanning method. 67Ga accumulates in neoplastic and inflammatory tissue. The subtraction method was applied for evaluating 38 patients with Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The preliminary experiences are described. It was found that the diagnostic accuracy is comparable to that of 67Ga scanning. The subtraction method offers potential improvement of the accuracy for equivocal scans, but further technological refinement is needed before the method can be widely applicable.
