The current study was initiated to define whether Tc-99m leukocyte imaging, compared to In-111 chloride imaging, could provide additional information on the hematopoietic activity of the bone marrow in diffuse hematologic disorders. A total of 11 patients with hematologic disorders were studied both with Tc-99m leukocytes and In-111 chloride. One patient with myelofibrosis showed disparate tracer distribution in the bone marrow between the two; Tc-99m leukocyte uptake in the central marrow was highly decreased, whereas In-111 chloride showed expanded marrow. The disparate results of granuloid hypoplasia and erythroid hyperplasia obtained by bone marrow biopsy and aspiration in this patient were thought to give an explanation for the radionuclide findings. The remaining 10 patients showed similar tracer distribution in the marrow, and the observation of hematopoietic cellularity confirmed by bone marrow biopsy and aspiration correlated well with the radionuclide findings. These results demonstrate that Tc-99m leukocytes may be a potential imaging agent for evaluating hematopoietic activity in the bone marrow, in particular granulopoietic activity. 相似文献

Infected knee prosthesis: diagnosis with In-111 leukocyte, Tc-99m sulfur colloid, and Tc-99m MDP imaging 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Forty-one possible cases of infected total knee prostheses studied with indium-111-labeled leukocyte scintigraphy were retrospectively reviewed. Twenty-four of the prostheses were studied with technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy and 19 with Tc-99m sulfur colloid marrow scintigraphy. Nine prostheses were infected, and 32 were uninfected. The accuracy of combined labeled leukocyte and sulfur colloid marrow imaging (95%) was higher than that of labeled leukocyte scintigraphy alone (78%), bone scintigraphy alone (74%), or combined labeled leukocyte and bone scintigraphy (75%). The authors conclude that combined labeled leukocyte and sulfur colloid imaging is an accurate method for diagnosis of infected knee prostheses. In this series, this technique was superior to labeled leukocyte and bone imaging, alone or in combination. 相似文献

We report a case of intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis associated with hemolytic anemia. While the paravertebral localization of the lesions demonstrated on CT and MRI was suspicious of intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis, In-111 chloride and Tc-99m Sn colloid bone marrow scintigraphies showing a bone marrow element of the lesion were useful to confirm the diagnosis. 相似文献

Diagnosis of upper-abdominal infections by In-111 labeled leukocytes with Tc-99m colloid subtraction technique 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In 65 patients suspected of upper-abdominal inflammatory disease, indium-111 leukocyte scintigraphy was combined with a Tc-99m(Sn)colloid scan by computer-assisted subtraction. In 84% of these cases, a definite diagnosis would not have been possible without this method of subtraction. Accuracy was found to be 80%, sensitivity 93%, and specificity 59%. False-positive results were due either to noninfectious inflammatory lesions with accumulation of leukocytes or to some pitfalls in the subtraction technique itself. 相似文献

The biodistributions of five Tc-99m colloids were compared with the 24-hr distributions of Fe-59 and In-111 in dogs by direct radioassay 1 hr after intravenous injection. One formulation of Tc-99m minmicroaggregated albumin (particle size 30-100 mn), produced the highest marrow concentration, approximately six times that of Tc-99m sulfur colloid, with similar blood, and liver concentrations and a lower splenic uptake. Nevertheless, the best colloid marrow uptake was lower than the 24-hr value for In-11 and much lower than that for Fe-59. The marrow concentration of minimicroaggregated albumin was also higher than that of sulfur colloid in rats at 30 min after injection. The principal disadvantage of Tc-99m antimony sulfide colloid was its slow blood clearance. Clinical evaluation of Tc-99m minimicroaggregated albumin for marrow imaging appears warranted, although its hepatic activity will obscure overlying and immediately adjacent marrow. 相似文献

PURPOSE: No imaging technique has been found to be adequate to assess the severity and extent of bone involvement in patients with Gaucher disease. Marrow involvement, as determined by Tc-99m sulfur colloid, correlated well with the clinical and radiologic changes of the skeleton, but a normal pattern was found in the early stages of the disease. Subsequently, Tc-99m sestamibi (MIBI) has been suggested for direct visualization of glycolipid deposits in the bone marrow. This study was initiated as a pilot using MIBI to detect various forms of bone disease in patients with Gaucher disease of varying severity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eleven patients (9 men; median age, 39.9; age range, 21 to 61 years) were evaluated. The clinical severity of disease was scored at presentation, and four patients with moderate to severe disease were treated with enzyme replacement therapy. Each patient underwent a radiographic skeletal survey, bone densitometry, and MIBI scintigraphy. The scan included static images of the lower limbs, with a whole-body scan acquired between the early and late acquisition. Tracer uptake in the bone marrow was graded and correlated with clinical and objective variables. RESULTS: All but one patient had increased MIBI uptake in the bone marrow. No correlation was noted between MIBI uptake and severity score, radiographic changes, densitometry z score, or treatment status. CONCLUSIONS: MIBI scanning is a sensitive technique for detecting bone marrow deposits in Gaucher disease, but it is inadequate for early identification of patients at high risk for skeletal complications or for the follow-up of patients treated with enzyme replacement. 相似文献

Diagnosis of musculoskeletal infection using combined In-111 labeled leukocyte and Tc-99m SC marrow imaging. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Seventy-three patients with various underlying disorders that could potentially alter distribution of bone marrow underwent In-111 labeled autologous leukocyte and Tc-99m SC marrow imaging to exclude musculoskeletal infection. There were 22 cases of infection among the 73 patients studied. When interpreted in isolation, labeled leukocyte images were considered positive for infection when uptake of labeled cells in the region of interest exceeded uptake in the corresponding contralateral side. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the study using this criterion were 86%, 12%, and 34%, respectively. When interpreted in conjunction with sulfur colloid marrow images, studies were considered positive for infection when uptake in the region of interest on leukocyte and marrow images was spatially incongruent. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of this dual tracer modality were 100%, 94%, and 96%, respectively. Three patients with infection and abnormal leukocyte/marrow images underwent repeat imaging after appropriate therapy. Images were interpreted as normal in two of them; both were infection free at subsequent surgery. Images of the third patient were interpreted as consistent with persistent infection, and operative cultures grew out Staphylococcus aureus. In summary, combined leukocyte/marrow imaging is a highly accurate method for diagnosing musculoskeletal infection and overcomes certain inherent limitations of labeled leukocyte imaging alone. 相似文献

113mIn has been proposed as a suitable tracer for aerosol ventilation scintigraphy in combination with 99mTc pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy. The high energy (393 keV) of 113mIn allows it to be detected in the presence of 99mTc, but degrades the spatial resolution which can be achieved. We have compared the resolution obtained with 99mTc and 113mIn in phantom experiments and in aerosol ventilation scans in 14 patients with airways disease. The resolution at the distances from the collimator encountered in lung scintigraphy was 10-20 mm for 99mTc and 15-40 mm for 113mIn. Aerosol ventilation images were abnormal in all patients. The 99mTc images showed peripheral defects and frequently central hot spots reflecting increased local aerosol deposition. In the 113mIn images, the lower resolution had a smoothing effect, the central hot spots were less striking, and the distribution of activity appeared more uniform, some detail was lost in the periphery. It is suggested that 113mIn is useful for ventilation scintigraphy in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, but that 99mTc is the tracer of choice if aerosol ventilation scintigraphy is used to study airways disease. 相似文献

Cerebral perfusion imaging with dual-tracer (Tc-99m and In-111) human albumin microspheres (HAM scintigraphy) was performed in 15 cases with unilateral occlusion of the internal carotid artery, for the diagnosis and evaluation of collateral circulation patterns. After injection of Tc-99m microspheres into one common carotid artery and In-111 HAMs into the other, two perfusion images, one for each carotid artery, were clearly differentiated by appropriate pulse-height discrimination. With this method, diagnosis of internal carotid artery occlusion was definitely made in eight patients, suspected in six, and missed in one. The collateral perfusion areas from the contralateral ICA and ipsilateral external carotid artery were well demonstrated by this method, and the scintigraphic results agreed well with the angiographic findings in all cases. Dual-tracer HAM scintigraphy is capable of adding information about collaterals at the capillary level to the anatomic information obtained by angiography. 相似文献

The usefulness of indium-111 white blood cell scintigraphy in the diagnosis of subacute or chronic bone infection was examined in 21 orthopedic patients. In-111 WBC imaging was compared with gallium-67 and technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate skeletal scintigraphy and bone radiography, all studies being performed within 1 week. In-111 WBC scintigraphy showed no definite advantage over Ga-67 scintigraphy in the identification of chronic bone infection. The two tests had the same sensitivity (80%) and similar specificity (In-111 WBC 75%, Ga-67 83%; difference not significant). Bone radiography had a sensitivity of 60% and a specificity of 67%. A negative Tc-99m MDP bone scintigram ruled out infection (sensitivity 100%), but because of low specificity (25%), final evaluation required performance of Ga-67 or In-111 WBC scintigraphy. 相似文献
