AB After the completion and evaluation of 17 patient studies using technetium-99m-labeled sucralfate for the detection of ulcerated areas, we felt that the technical aspects of the studies should be evaluated. The factors for evaluation are: the time the patient is kept fasting; the time the patient is being imaged and rotated for various anatomic views; the technologist time and camera time that are involved in one study; and the cost factor of the testing procedure. Based on the findings of our small sample of patients, the sensitivity of the test is uncertain.
