Uses

Gallium Chloride is a radioactive isotope of gallium usually complexed with sodium citrate used to test for Hodgkin's disease, lymphoma, and bronchogenic carcinoma, and acute inflammatory lesions.

Following complexation with sodium citrate to yield gallium citrate Ga 67, gallium chloride Ga-67 is used to demonstrate the presence of Hodgkin's disease, lymphomas, bronchogenic carcinomas, and some acute inflammatory lesions.

Gallium Chloride is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Carcinoma, Bronchogenic, Hodgkins Disease (HD), Malignant Lymphomas, Acute inflammatory lesions
