A 15-year-old boy with acute leukemia had a gallium-67 scan that was virtually identical to his technetium-99m pyrophosphate bone scan, except for lack of renal visualization. The quality of the radiopharmaceutical was assured by the normal appearance of gallium scan performed in another patient on the same day and with the same radionuclide batch. This extensive osseous uptake was probably due to bone-marrow replacement by leukemia cells and is a pattern that should be recognized as indicating a diffuse marrow-infiltrating disease.
一名患有急性白血病的15岁男孩进行了镓-67扫描，其结果与他的锝-99m焦磷酸盐骨扫描几乎相同，只是没有肾脏显影。通过同一天用同一批放射性核素对另一名患者进行的镓扫描正常表现，确保了放射性药物的质量。这种广泛的骨摄取可能是由于白血病细胞对骨髓的替代，这种模式应被视为提示弥漫性骨髓浸润性疾病。
