Extrapulmonary localization of gallium in sarcoidosis

Journal Article · · Clin. Nucl. Med.; (United States)
; ;

This paper describes the spectrum of extrapulmonary localization of gallium in patients with sarcoidosis. The usefulness of Ga-67 scintiscans in detecting clinically occult lesions, in directing clinicians to accessible sites for biopsy, and in following the course of extrapulmonary sites of involvement with therapy is emphasized.
