title: Ga-67 imaging in primary and secondary psoas abscess.
abstract: Primary and secondary psoas abscesses are uncommon and frequently misdiagnosed. Two cases of pyogenic psoas abscess are presented to illustrate the usefulness of Ga-67 scintigraphy in determining the presence and the extent of the infectious process.
