Abstract
Eight patients with renal or perirenal abscesses were evaluated by 67gallium scintigraphy. The correlation of localized 67gallium uptake to the inflammatory lesion was proved by tissue diagnoses in 7 patients and by response to treatment and repeated studies in the remaining case. 67Gallium scanning was found to be an accurate, non-invasive technique. It should be applied early in diagnosing inflammatory lesions of the retroperitoneum and for examining fever of unknown origin.
