Gallium Scan


Results and Values

What do the test results mean?

In a normal test, the gallium appears only in certain areas of the body. The gallium is usually evenly spread throughout these areas. In an abnormal test, the gallium may concentrate or clump in one or more areas of the body. An abnormal test may indicate:

  • an infection
  • an active disease causing inflammation, such as sarcoidosis in the lungs
  • a cancer, such as the blood cancer lymphoma
  • The healthcare provider that ordered the test will discuss the results and what they mean.
