Gallium 67 has been used as a modality to diagnose and follow the clinical course of diseases such as tumors, infections, inflammatory disorders, and interstitial lung disease. It has been appreciated, however, that mild to moderate changes in scan activity, when these disorders are followed over time, are less than optimal. SPECT (single-photon emission computed tomography) scanning is a new technique designed to obviate this problem. SPECT scanning utilizes computer acquisition to provide three-dimensional scanning and the additional benefit of colorization to aid in discerning differences of uptake. SPECT scanning was performed on 22 patients with interstitial lung disease of various etiologies. Additionally, 7 patients had follow-up SPECT scanning to determine their response to treatment. Two patients are presented as examples.
镓67已被用作一种手段来诊断和追踪肿瘤、感染、炎症性疾病和间质性肺病等疾病的临床病程。然而，人们认识到，当对这些疾病进行长期追踪时，扫描活性的轻度至中度变化并不理想。单光子发射计算机断层扫描（SPECT）是一项旨在解决这一问题的新技术。SPECT扫描利用计算机采集来提供三维扫描，并具有额外的彩色化优势，有助于辨别摄取差异。对22例病因各异的间质性肺病患者进行了SPECT扫描。此外，7例患者进行了SPECT随访扫描，以确定他们对治疗的反应。现举两例患者为例。
