Sixty patients suspected of having abdominal abscesses were evaluated by early and delayed $sup 67$Ga scintigraphy. The $sup 67$Ga scintigraphs obtained 6 hr after injection correctly localized 18 of 20 abdominal or retroperitoneal abscesses. An additional 13 patients with abnormal scintigraphs had clinically established infections. In no instance was an abscess or inflammatory focus present on delayed scintigraphs that was not evident on the 6-hr study. Two false-positive and two false-negative studies were recorded. Early $sup 67$Ga scintigraphy is warranted in patients with suspected abdominal abscesses. (auth)
