    Gallium-67 (67Ga) scans are sensitive for peripheral infections. For abdominal abscesses, 67Ga scanning accurately locates abscesses in over half of cases with a low false-positive rate.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear medicine
    • Diagnostic imaging
    • Infectious disease

    Background:

    • Peripheral infections require accurate diagnostic tools.
    • Abdominal abscesses present diagnostic challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of Gallium-67 (67Ga) scanning in diagnosing peripheral infections and abdominal abscesses.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized 67Ga scanning for patients with suspected peripheral infections.
    • Applied 67Ga scanning as a diagnostic tool for suspected abdominal abscesses.

    Main Results:

    • 67Ga scanning demonstrated high sensitivity and accuracy in peripheral infections.
    • The diagnostic tool located and delineated abdominal abscesses in over 50% of cases.

  • A high true-negative rate and acceptably low false-positive rate were observed for abdominal abscess detection.

    • Conclusions:

    • 67Ga scanning is a valuable tool for peripheral infections.
    • Clinical correlation is essential when interpreting 67Ga scans for abdominal abscesses.
    • The presence of neoplasms alongside abscesses remains a diagnostic challenge.
