Abstract
Sequantial Ga citrate scans (51) were performed in 22 patients with biopsy-proven sarcoidosis. A computer-assisted quantitative analysis of these scans was performed to obtain a Ga score. The changes in Ga score were correlated with changes in serum angiotensin converting enzyme (SACE) activity and objective changes in clinical status. There was a good concordance between changes in Ga score, SACE activity and clinical assessment in patients with sarcoidosis and changes in Ga index were slightly superior to SACE index in assessing activity of sarcoidosis.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
