Detection of Meckel's diverticulum in an infant by Tc-99m-sulfur colloid scintigraphy.
Active lower intestinal bleeding from a Meckel's diverticulum in an infant was detected with Tc-99m-sulfur colloid scintigraphy. This technique expands the scintigraphic armamentarium for evaluation of lower intestinal bleeding in infants and children.
