Abstract
Transaxial emission computed tomography (ECT) was performed in dogs with induced abscesses, using 67Ga and several 99mTc-labeled organ-specific radiopharmaceuticals. Superimposition of 99mTc ECT images onto the 67Ga images gave the precise anatomic location of the abnormal foci of 67Ga uptake, correctly localizing a perinephric abscess, a splenic abscess and a focus of osteomyelitis. This technique permits further characterization of regions of decreased activity.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
