- Title
Gallium SPECT/CT in lymphoma: the ups and downs of functional imaging.
- Authors
Bar-Shalom, Rachel
- Abstract
The article comments on the role of gallium scintigraphy (GS) in imaging and management of lymphoma. An extensive amount of well-based clinical data has been accumulated with respect to the advantages of gallium as an agent for the evaluation of lymphoma viability. However, in spite of its proven efficacy, GS has not been readily adopted by the nuclear medicine community. The limitations of GS are related to its low spatial resolution and contrast, to the variable physiological or non-lymphomatous tracer uptake patterns and to the lack of anatomical landmarks.
