Uptake of gallium-67 in the chest is a relatively nonspecific indicator of active disease. In patients with suspected sarcoidosis a specific diagnosis can often be made if the head and neck are included during imaging. Seventy-five per cent of patients with sarcoid lesions in the lungs and mediastinum show uptake of the isotope in the salivary glands. If, in addition, the lacrimal glands concentrate the gallium, a diagnosis of sarcoidosis may be made with confidence. A case of mediastinal sarcoidosis, illustrating uptake of gallium-67 in the parotid and lacrimal glands, is discussed.
胸部镓-67摄取是活动性疾病相对非特异性的指标。在疑似结节病的患者中，如果在成像时包括头颈部，通常可以做出明确诊断。肺部和纵隔有结节病病变的患者中，75%在唾液腺显示该同位素摄取。此外，如果泪腺也浓聚镓，则可确诊结节病。本文讨论了1例纵隔结节病病例，该病例显示腮腺和泪腺摄取镓-67。
