Guest guest Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I hope all continues to go well for you. Take care....be well.MattSubject: Gallium ScanTo: Neurosarcoidosis Date: Sunday, January 23, 2011, 6:28 PM So my gallium scan is normal, doesn't show *any* sarcoidosis anywhere else in my body, yay! I don't know if the methotrexate and pred are suppressing things, and I have yet to see my specialist to interpret the results (that's not til March), but the 'raw report' from the hospital, which my GP gave me, looks pretty promising. It did show up osteoarthritis in my wrists, shoulders and knees, though, dammit :/ Cheers, ........................................................................................................ http://sutherland-studios.com.au ........................................................................................................

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I've never had a gallium scan; doesn't seem to be a standard procedure in these parts (Midwest USA). Now that I'm in remission I guess it doesn't matter.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Yeah, they inject you with radioactive gallium a few days before the scan, and then you lie on a table that moves slowly through the scanner. It picks up areas of inflammation / infection / cancer in the body. http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/gallium-scan Cheers, ..,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,\ ..,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,. http://sutherland-studios.com.au http://www.facebook.com/pages/-Sutherland/149144697766 ..,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,\ ..,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,. > > what is a gallium scan, is it different than an MRI? > > > > To: neurosarcoidosis > Sent: Mon, January 24, 2011 3:21:47 PM > Subject: RE: Gallium Scan > > > I've never had a gallium scan; doesn't seem to be a standard procedure in these parts (Midwest USA).
