Tuberculous pericarditis is a potential cause of positive Ga-67 cardiac uptake, with activity concentrating in the inflamed pericardium.

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.
