title: [Potentialities of gamma-scintigraphy in the diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum in children].
abstract: Altogether 84 children aged 1 to 15 were examined. The index of 99mTc-pertechnetate relative accumulation in the ectopic gastric mucosa was proposed to be used to objectify and improve the quality of diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum. The index over 42% was shown to be typical of Meckel's diverticulum and it can be used for automated diagnosis of the disease. The use of the above quantitative index made it possible to reject 20% of false positive results obtained at visual interpretation of scintigrams.
