A preliminary investigation of 67Ga citrate distribution in hyperferraemic patients.

Scanning for malignant or inflammatory lesions with 67Ga citrate currently has a number of major limitations. In an effort to improve visualisation of the abdomen and pelvis, and to reduce the time between 67Ga citrate injection and the scan (usually 72 h) a series of patients was given an intramuscular injection of 100 mg iron-sorbitol citric acid complex (jectofer) two hours prior to receiving an intravenous injection of 67Ga citrate.
