For nearly 50 years, nuclear medicine has played an important role in the diagnosis of infection. Gallium citrate Ga 67 was one of the first, if not the first, radionuclide used for this purpose. Unfavorable imaging characteristics, a lack of specificity, and the long interval (2-3 days) between administration and imaging spurred the search for alternatives.

Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is a systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by tubulointerstitial nephritis with IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration. We report the case of an 84-year-old male who presented with a history of dyspnea on exertion and cough. The lymph nodes were palpated in the axilla.

Radiolabeled somatostatin subtype 2 receptor (SST2R)-antagonists have shown advantageous profiles for cancer theranostics compared with agonists. On the other hand, the newly introduced hybrid chelator (6-pentanoic acid)-6-(amino)methyl-1,4-diazepinetriacetate (DATA) rapidly binds Ga-68 (t: 67.7 min) at much lower temperature, thus allowing for quick access to "ready-for-injection" [Ga]Ga-tracers in hospitals.

Gallium is a tri-valent p-block metal that closely mimics tri-valent iron. Gallium is internalized into cells transferrin receptor-mediated endocytosis. Both Ga-67 and Ga-68 are radionuclides that can be radiolabeled to various bioactive compounds for clinical imaging procedures to visualize tumors and sites of inflammation.
