Consider tuberculous pericarditis in Ga-67 cardiac uptake; case report extends differential but leaves frequency open.
A case of positive Ga-67 image due to tuberculous pericarditis is presented. The pattern and distribution of the uptake suggested that the concentration of the activity was mainly in the inflamed pericardium. The known causes of Ga-67 cardiac uptake were reviewed, and a differential diagnosis is given.
