Scintigraphic demonstration of subcutaneous abscesses with 99mTc-labeled leukocytes. 1985

H Kelbaek, and J Fogh, and T Gjørup, and K Bülow, and B Vestergaard

Our initial experience with the clinical application of autologous leukocytes labeled in vitro with technetium 99m is reported. An injection of 3.6 X 10(8) leukocytes (83% of which were polymorphonuclear) labeled with 6.4 mCi 99mTc was administered to a patient with subcutaneous abscesses in order to evaluate the in vivo stability of the labeling and cellular function. Scintigraphic examinations demonstrated marked accumulations of radioactivity at the sites of inflammation, suggesting that 99mTc was efficiently bound to the cells and that the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes was not disturbed by the labeling procedure.

The surface area is between the VULVA and the anus in the female, and between the SCROTUM and the anus in the male. Perineums
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.
