One hundred and twenty-two children suspected of having malignant disease were examined by 67Gallium scintigraphy. True-positive detection was obtained in 22 patients before treatment and true-negative in 22. False-negative scans were obtained in 5 children with primary adrenal neuroblastoma. Local recurence and/or metastases were detected in 29 of 58 children previously treated for malignant disease. For malignant disease, diagnostic sensitivity was 78% and diagnostic specificity 79%. It is concluded that 67Ga scintigraphy should be used for primary visualization and control of malignant tumors in children.
对122名疑似患有恶性疾病的儿童进行了镓-67闪烁扫描检查。治疗前在22名患者中获得了真阳性检测结果，22名患者为真阴性。5名原发性肾上腺神经母细胞瘤患儿扫描结果为假阴性。在58名先前接受过恶性疾病治疗的儿童中，有29名检测到局部复发和/或转移。对于恶性疾病，诊断敏感性为78%，诊断特异性为79%。结论是镓-67闪烁扫描应作为儿童恶性肿瘤的初步显像和监测手段。
