Physiologic imaging of radiolabeled leukocytes.
The radiolabeling of leukocytes and other cellular elements of the blood has allowed a number of physiologic processes to be investigated. In addition, many commonly performed clinical nuclear medicine procedures utilize these techniques. The following is a review of the labeling technique and of the utility of radiolabeled leukocytes.
