This review, examines the indications for and limitations of gallium-67 (67Ga) scanning in the evaluation of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The imaging protocol, as well as the normal biodistribution of 67Ga and its normal variants are discussed. The diagnostic significance of the different scintigraphic patterns that are found in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS-related complex (ARC) patients is reviewed. The use of 67Ga scintigraphy for measurement of the effectiveness of treatment in this patient population is also discussed, as is the likelihood that this examination could be used as a prognostic indicator in the future.
本综述探讨了镓-67（67Ga）扫描在评估感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）患者中的适应证和局限性。讨论了成像方案以及67Ga的正常生物分布及其正常变异情况。回顾了在获得性免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）或艾滋病相关综合征（ARC）患者中发现的不同闪烁显像模式的诊断意义。还讨论了67Ga闪烁显像在测量该患者群体治疗效果方面的应用，以及该检查未来用作预后指标的可能性。
