Gallium-67 scanning at 6 hr in active inflammatory bowel disease: case report

Gallium citrate scanning at 6 hr was used to evaluate a patient with active ulcerative colitis. The localization of 67Ga in the colon correlated with the extent of the inflammatory process. When either colonoscopy or radiographic contrast studies are contraindicated, 67Ga scanning at 6 hr may prove useful in the evaluation of active inflammatory bowel disease.
