Whole body gallium scintigraphy (a) anterior and (b) posterior images show diffuse skeletal tracer uptake. Focal tracer uptake seen in the region of left kidney on anterior images (arrow). (c) Axial CT image shows focal tracer uptake corresponding to bowel uptake of gallium, better appreciated on (d) fused SPECT CT image.

These images [Figures 1a and 1b] revealed diffuse tracer uptake in the skeleton with no uptake at normal physiological sites. There was a focus of uptake in the region of left kidney [Figure 1a -arrow]. However, transaxial SPECT CT images of the abdomen [Figure 1c - axial CT, 1d - fused images] revealed that the focus corresponded to bowel activity.
