Acquisition

 

-  Use gammacamera with paralell medium or high energy collimator for imaging.

-  Set photopeaks of Ga-67 at 93.3 (37.0%), 184.6 (20.4%), 300 (16.6%), and 393.5 (4.64%) keV.

-  Obtain whole body acquisition and spot views over area of interest at 24 h and 72 h.

-  Likewise, Spect of abdomen and/or thorax are useful.

-  In difficult cases fusion with CT or MRI is helpful to locate lesions.
