  • Scintigrafija celega telesa z galijem pri malignih limfomih
    Večko, Miroslava
    Since it was introduced into clinical practice thirty years ago until today wholebody gallium imaging has been useful and cost-efficient diagnostic tool. It providesa key data about diagnose, therapy ... and prognosis of neoplasms. It has a well-defined role in staging and monitoring the response to therapy in malignant lymphomas. The use of higher injected doses of 67Ga, improved gamma camera with three phpton peak acquisition and introduction of SPECT imaging technique have led to marked improvements in results and renewed its utility in the last decade. Comparison between planar and SPECT imaging indicates the importance of SPECT in management of patients with malignant lymphomas, specially to follow the effect of treatment. SPECT has the ability to depict small foci of tumor tissue, which are not seen on planar imaging. Lymphomas are malignant neoplasms characterized by the proliferation of cells native to lymphoid tissues. This includes cellular elements such as lymphocytes, histiocytes and their precursors and derivatives. It is a wide group of diseases, in which Hodgkin's disease is segregated from all other forms, whichare labeled non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. They account for 2% of all adult cancers whit their incidence going up. Hodgkin"s lymphoma is histologically characterized by the presence of ReedSternberg cells. It has good prognosis the goal of first therapy is complete remission.
