title: [Diagnosis of osteomyelitis using Ga-67 citrate].
abstract: To increase the specificity of radionuclide diagnosis of purulent bone affections the authors used Ga-67 citrate which is incorporated into the circulating leukocytes. From the results of examination of 32 patients a comparative characteristics of the diagnostic value of osteotropic agents labeled with Tc-99m and Ga-67 citrate are given. The expediency of using Ga-67 citrate for indicating an inflammatory process in the phase of abscess formation is shown.
