Localisation of Hodgkin's disease and lymphomas by 67-gallium substraction scanning.
67Ga-subtraction scan was found to be useful and a promising new method for the pre-treatment evaluation of the patient with Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The scan appeared to be most accurate in the neck, chest, and axillary regions. It appears to offer a means of increasing the accuracy of evaluating the abdomen, the para-aortic and pelvic regions. It may be a useful method for the follow-up to detect recurrences. It was an easily performed, safe, non-invasive test, well tolerated and accepted by patients.
