The effect of gallium 67 on the serum level of calcium

With of the advancement of science, the ionizing radiation were used in medical applications such as radiology, CT and nuclear medicine. Gallium 67 is used in nuclear medicine imaging to detect soft tissue tumors and inflammatory diseases.

The first group was considered as control. The second group received 0.3 mg gallium 67 by Intraperitoneal injection. After one week, it was taken 2 cc blood clots from the heart all of them for serological studies. Data were analyzed by statistical t-Test. The result was showed the significant difference in the levels of calcium in gallium 67 group with compare contol group.
