Abstract
Whole-body retention of 67Ga-citrate was studied in intact and in abscess-bearing rabbits. The abscess-to-muscle ratio was obtained using a data processor. Administration of Fe dextran lowers the whole-body retention in the intact and abscess-bearing animals. The optimum time for administering the Fe dextran was 24 h after the 67Ga-citrate injection. At this time, the abscess-to-muscle ratio was highest and the cathode-ray screen images showed lowered background activity and much better definition of the lesion.
