Abstract:
A 66-year-old white man with amiodarone pneumonitis is presented. The diagnosis was made with the aid of Ga-67 imaging, which is a sensitive method of detecting amiodarone pulmonary toxicity in patients with symptomatic pulmonary infiltrates on chest radiographs. Ga-67 imaging is especially useful in distinguishing amiodarone pneumonitis from congestive heart failure.
