In a retrospective study of 220 [111In]granulocyte scintigrams from 208 patients, 25 patients had malignant neoplasms. Among these, tumor uptake of 111In activity was observed in ten patients (intense activity in two patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and colonic carcinoma, respectively; moderate uptake in a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and in a patient with an ovarian carcinoma; weak activity in three patients with cerebral neoplasms; and activity within otherwise "cold" metastatic lesions of the liver in three patients). Microscopic investigation following specific granulocyte staining revealed the greatest extent of granulocyte infiltration in the tumors which took up 111In activity, emphasizing the importance of tumor granulocyte infiltration as the single most important factor underlying tumor accumulation of 111In activity during [111In]granulocyte scintigraphy.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
