- FIGURE 1.
Imaging of IBD (pancolitis) with 99mTc-stannous fluoride colloid-labeled leukocytes. Image 1 h after injection (A), in conjunction with image 3 h after injection (B), shows clear segmental involvement.
- FIGURE 2.
Imaging of Crohn’s disease with 99mTc-stannous fluoride colloid-labeled leukocytes. Image 1 h after injection (A), in conjunction with image 3 h after injection (B), shows moderate to intense localization in large and small intestine.
- FIGURE 3.
Anterior acquisition of sequential blood-flow images in 99mTc-MDP study is important in diagnosis of osteomyelitis. Vascular activity is increased in left proximal tibia and knee.
- FIGURE 4.
(A and B) 99mTc-MDP blood-pool images of region of interest are important in diagnosis of osteomyelitis. (C) Delayed imaging of 99mTc-MDP studies can give more detailed localization information concerning bone involved in infectious process. In addition to 99mTc-MDP imaging, radiolabeled leukocytes can be used in diagnostic procedure when investigating osteomyelitis. (D) For this patient, 99mTc-stannous fluoride colloid was administered 3 d after 99mTc-MDP. 99mTc-stannous fluoride colloid was imaged 3 h after injection.
- FIGURE 5.
99mTc-MDP blood-pool phase (A) and delayed image (B) show abnormal uptake of tracer. (C) 67Ga-Citrate is used to ensure that increased bone activity is due to infection of bone—in this case, osteomyelitis.
