Abstract
When employed in the study of peripheral infections, 67Ga scanning is sensitive and accurate. When used as a diagnostic tool for suspected abdominal abscesses, it locates and delineates abscesses in somewhat over half the cases. Moreover, the true negative rate is high, and the false positive rate is acceptable low. Gallium scans should be interpreted with all available clinical information. Recognition of the coexistence of neoplasm is a problem which at present is not completely resolved.
