ABSTRACT

Intense, asymmetric uptake of ⁶⁷Ga-citrate in the right parotid and submandibular glands was observed in an asymptomatic patient who had undergone locoregional radiotherapy for Stage IA Hodgkin's disease 8 mo earlier. In view of the modified mini-mantle radiation field and adjunctive ^99mTc salivary imaging, a unilateral radiation-induced sialadenitis best explained this unusual scintigraphic appearance.
