A variety of computer-derived indices of pulmonary gallium-67 were compared in 51 subjects with and without interstitial lung disorders. An index which quantitates lung uptake in relation to liver uptake, both being corrected for tissue background activity over the thigh, was the most reliable in differentiating between the two patient groups. The index is easily derived using standard computer techniques, so permitting further studies to assess its role in serial assessments of the progress of these disorders.
在51名患有和未患间质性肺病的受试者中，对多种计算机得出的肺镓-67指标进行了比较。一种将肺摄取量与肝摄取量进行定量比较的指标（两者均针对大腿组织本底活性进行了校正），在区分这两组患者时最为可靠。该指标使用标准计算机技术即可轻松得出，因此可以开展进一步研究来评估其在这些疾病进展的系列评估中的作用。
