Fourteen patients were examined between 3 weeks and 11 years after implantation of an aortobifemoral vascular graft with 111In labelled leukocytes isolated with discontinuous gradient centrifugation. The camera acquisition was performed with a three phase technique (acquisitions at 30 min, 4 h and 2
A positive 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate bone scan was obtained in a case of pelvic osteomyelitis in a 15-year-old girl. An 111In-labelled leucocyte scan confirmed the presence of pus, gave a more accurate anatomical location than was obtained by the bone scan, and enabled the most suitable surgical
Interpretation of the posterior view of an 111In-labelled leucocyte scan is difficult when infection is suspected in that region of the spine overlaid by the left lobe of the liver. A case is reported of the successful localisation of infection in this region by combining an 111In-labelled leucocyte
To assess the significance of diffuse cardiac activity (DCA) seen on In-111 labeled leukocyte scans, we reviewed 87 studies performed over the last 4 years. Inflammatory cardiac conditions were seen as frequently in patients with DCA (15%) as those without (7%, P = 0.3). There was a higher ratio of
