| gallium | <chemistry, element> A rare metallic element, found in certain zinc ores. It is white, hard, and malleable, resembling aluminium, and remarcable for its low melting point (86 F, 30C). The element was predicted with most of its properties, under the name ekaluminium, by the Russian chemist Mendelejeff, on the basis of the Periodic law. This prediction was verified in its discovery by the French chemist Lecoq de Boisbaudran by its characteristic spectrum (two violet lines), in an examination of a zinc blende from the Pyrenees. Atomic weight: 69.9 Abbreviation: Ga Origin: NL, fr. L. Gallia France. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| gallium-67 | A cyclotron-produced radionuclide with a half-life of 3.260 days and major gamma ray emissions of 93, 185, and 300 kiloelectron volts; used in the citrate form as a tumour-and inflammation-localizing radiotracer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gallium-67 citrate | <radiology> Analogue of ferric iron, decay: by electron capture to ground state of Zn-67, energy levels: 92 KeV (40%); 184 KeV (23%); 296 KeV (21%), physiological half life: 3.3 days (78 hr), biological half life: 2-3 weeks, binding sites: serum: transferrin, haptoglobin, albumin, globulins, tissue: lactoferrin, PMN's (viable and nonviable), lymphocytes, macrophages, bacteria and fungi, tumour cell-associated transferrin receptor see: gallium: indications (12 Dec 1998) |
