Whole-body scintigraphy with both 99mTc-phosphonate and 67Ga was performed on 92 patients suspected of primary bone tumors. In 46 patients with primary malignant bone tumors, scintigraphy with 99mTc-phosphonate disclosed the primary tumor in 44 cases and skeletal metastases in 11, and 67Ga scintigraphy detected the primary tumor in 43 cases, skeletal metastases in 6 cases and soft-tissue metastases in 8 cases. In 25 patients with secondary malignant bone tumors, bone scintigraphy visualized a single lesion in 10 cases and several lesions in 15 cases, and 67Ga scintigraphy detected the primary tumor in 17 cases, skeletal metastases in 17 cases and soft-tissue metastases in 9 cases. In 21 patients with benign bone disease positive uptake of 99mTc-phosphonate was recognized in 19 cases and uptake of 67Ga in 17 cases. It is concluded that bone scintigraphy should be used in patients suspected of primary bone tumors. If malignancy is suspected, 67Ga scintigraphy should be performed in addition.

The Brain

SummaryBrain scintigraphy with 99mmTc pertechnetate and subsequently with 6 7Ga citrate was carried out in 55 selected patients. Among 29 patients with normal 99mTc scintigrams, eleven suffered from intracranial tumours and in five of these, visualization of the tumour was obtained by means of 6 7Ga scintigraphy.Of 20 patients who showed abnormal 99mTc scintigrams as well as abnormal 6 7Ga scintigrams, eighteen suffered from intracranial tumours and two from infectious lesions of the brain.The remaining six patients who had abnormal 99mTc scintigrams but normal 6 7Ga scintigrams all suffered from vascular insults of the brain.It is concluded that 6 7Ga citrate often accumulates in tumours which are missed by 99mTc scintigraphy, and that 6 7Ga is not accumulated in areas of vascular insults of the brain as is 99mTc.
