Gallium-67 pulmonary uptake in eosinophilic pneumonia

Clin Nucl Med. 1988 Jan;13(1):41-3. doi: 10.1097/00003072-198801000-00012.

Abstract

Eosinophilic pneumonia is usually diagnosed based on the findings on chest x-ray, white blood count, and transbronchial biopsy. After reporting a case of Ga-67 lung uptake in eosinophilic pneumonia, its histopathology is discussed and the mechanisms of Ga-67 uptake by inflammatory lesions are reviewed.
