Positive whole-body /sup 67/Ga scintigraphy in dermatomyositis

Journal Article · · Am. J. Roentgenol.; (United States)

Gallium-67 has proven useful in the evaluation of the extent of several malignancies, including bronchogenic carcinoma, Hodgkin's disease, and lymphoma. Many infectious processes also yield positive scans, including sarcoidosis, pneumonia, pyelonephritis, and active tuberculosis. We report a patient in whom whole-body /sup 67/Ga scintimaging led to the diagnosis of dermatomyositis.
