Gallium-67 imaging in candidal esophagitis

Clin Nucl Med. 1990 Jan;15(1):38-9. doi: 10.1097/00003072-199001000-00012.

Abstract

Ga-67 scanning has been used to evaluate esophageal carcinoma. It has demonstrated candidal infection in other body sites and, in one previous case, in the esophagus. The authors present a case of diffuse esophageal uptake of Ga-67 in esophageal candidiasis.
