標題: | Less may be as good as more: Feasible and effective method to differentiate gastric uptake solely on planar gallium scan in the era of SPECT/CT | 關鍵字: | 67Ga; FDG PET/CT; SPECT/CT; Stomach; Water ingestion | 公開日期: | 2013 | 卷: | 38 | 期: | 7 | 起(迄)頁: | 557-559 | 來源出版物: | Clinical Nuclear Medicine | 摘要: | We presented a patient with abnormal focal accumulation of Ga in the left upper abdomen. After drinking water, we successfully identified the abnormal radioactivity that was from the stomach. Subsequent endoscopic examination did not reveal gastric pathological condition. Gastric accumulation of 67Ga may relate to pathological conditions or physiological uptake, confounding interpretation of 67Ga scintigraphy. Simple water ingestion method can rapidly identify gastric Ga uptake, and the shape of distended stomach can also help to differentiate pathological conditions from physiological uptake, which is especially helpful for a busy nuclear medicine department and for places where the SPECT/CT systems are not available.
