An educative powerpoint about Galium-67 Citrate. (Radiopharmaceuticals) Hoping this powerpoint could help you. :)))

1. GALLIUM-67 CITRATE (67Ga)
Reporter: NERI

2. A sterile, pyrogen-free
aqueous solution.
Ferric ion (Fe+3)
A half-life of 78 hours

metastatic tumors & in
focal sites of infection.

Soluble intracellular
protein.

3. Hodgkin Disease,
lymphomas, bronchogenic
carcinoma.
Localization of focal
inflammatory lesions.
Diagnosis and monitoring
of Pneumocystis carinii
pneumonia of AIDS.

D-glucose (FDG).

4. Concurrent use of Fe+3,
increase in 67Ga renal
excretion in the body.
