Abstract
Three cases are reported in which gallium-67 citrate scanning disclosed the presence of pulmonary sarcoid lesions, which were confirmed by open lung biopsy. In all three cases the chest radiography showed no evidence of pulmonary parenchymal leisons. The present report provides evidence that the gallium-67 scan is more sensitive than radiography in disclosing sarcoid lesions of the lung parenchyma. The scan is useful in the management of sarcoidosis, as it shows progressions or remissions of disease more reliably than chest radiographs.
