To evaluate the clinical utility of 67gallium single photon emission tomography (SPECT), we prospectively compared 67Ga SPECT with gallium planar views and with compared tomography in 94 patients with diffuse lung diseases. Differences in the accumulation of gallium between slices and between the left and right sides of a single slice were easier to detect with 67Ga SPECT than with planar views. Three-dimensional information regarding accumulation was also obtained by SPECT. Information regarding active inflammation was more difficult to obtain by computed tomography than by SPECT. Diagnosing diffuse lung diseases will be easier with the introduction of gallium SPECT.
为评估67镓单光子发射断层扫描（SPECT）的临床效用，我们前瞻性地比较了94例弥漫性肺疾病患者的67镓SPECT与镓平面显像以及计算机断层扫描。与平面显像相比，67镓SPECT更容易检测到各层面之间以及单一层面左右两侧镓摄取的差异。SPECT还可获得有关摄取的三维信息。计算机断层扫描比SPECT更难获取有关活动性炎症的信息。引入镓SPECT后，弥漫性肺疾病的诊断将更容易。
