ABSTRACT
Gaucher′s disease (GD) is a lysosomal storage disease, and the etiology of GD is the decreased activity of glucocerebrosidase, which leads to the accumulation of glucocerebroside in the lysosomes of macrophages. Because GD is rare and lacks specific clinical manifestations, it is easy to be misdiagnosed, which delays the best time for treatment. Early diagnosis, clinical evaluation, and regular monitoring of the disease have important clinical significance for enzyme replacement therapy in patients with GD. Recent studies have found that radionuclide imaging is playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and treatment of GD. This article introduces the application of radionuclide imaging in the diagnosis and management of GD.
