Scintigraphic aspects of 111In-chloride bone marrow scintigraphy in aplastic anaemia.
In 25 patients and 11 follow-up studies the clinical usefulness of bone marrow scanning with 111In-chloride in aplastic anaemia is evaluated. Semi-quantitative scanning of bone marrow scan results and the presence of bone marrow extension have proven to be helpful in monitoring the disease and determining aetiological factors. This study shows that 111In-chloride is able to demonstrate regional difference in the bone marrow status of the patient suffering from aplastic anaemia, thereby offering a useful alternative for iron radionuclides.
