99mTc-HMPAO labelled leucocyte imaging in bowel infarction. Case report.
Two cases of small-bowel infarction preoperatively diagnosed with 99mTc-HMPAO labelled leucocyte imaging are reported. Uptake in the affected gut was positive in images recorded after only 30 min, which is helpful for early diagnosis and therapeutic strategy.
