Polymorphonuclear leukocytes labeled with technetium-99m HMPAO. A potential bone marrow imaging agent.
A case of multifocal avascular necrosis of the bone complicating systemic lupus erythematosis is presented in which the extent of involvement was incidentally identified by Tc-99m HMPAO leukocyte imaging. Leukocytes labeled with Tc-99m HMPAO may be an excellent bone marrow imaging agent.
