Comparative Evaluation of ^sup 18^F-FDG PET and ^sup 67^Ga Scintigraphy in Patients with Sarcoidosis
|
^sup 67^Ga scintigraphy has been used for years in sarcoidosis for diagnosis and the extent of the disease. However, little information is available on the comparison of ^sup 18^F-FDG PET and ^sup 67^Ga scintigraphy in the assessment of sarcoidosis. The purpose of this study was to compare the uptake of ^sup 18^F-FDG and ^sup 67^Ga in the evaluation of pulmonary and extrapulmonary involvement in patients with sarcoidosis. Methods: Eighteen patients with sarcoidosis were examined. ^sup 18^F-FD...
