title: Diagnosing protein losing enteropathy. A new approach using Tc-99m human immunoglobulin.
abstract: Tc-99m HIG has recently come into prominence as an inflammation seeking radiotracer. The authors describe a novel use of the agent for imaging protein-losing enteropathy. The agent may have certain advantages over Tc-99m HSA, which is currently being used for imaging protein loss.
