[67gallium. Diagnostic possibilities and usefulness as a tracer].
As a consequence of its affinity to leukocytes and tumour cells, 67Gallium-Citrate is a good isotope for detecting infections and tumoral pathology. Its sensitivity is greater for lymphatic system malignancies, primary lung cancer, primary liver carcinoma and melanoma. It is a useful method with more sensitivity than diagnostic specificity.
