به خواندن ادامه دهیدAnother twist in the circuitous story of gallium emerged in the early 1970s, when it was serendipitously noted that [67 Ga]Ga-citrate was not specific to tumor but also localized in sites of inflammation and infection [11–13]. The indefatigable radiopharmaceutical therefore emerged as a useful agent for infection imaging.
