Abstract
A comparative study of 99Tcm-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (HMPAO) and 111In leucocyte scintigraphy was performed in inflammatory bowel disease. Two hundred and thirty-four patients were studied, 146 had 99Tcm-HMPAO, 82 had 111In and six had both. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the 99Tcm leucocyte scan were 96, 97 and 97%, respectively, and 96, 97 and 97%, respectively, for the 111In leucocyte scan. 99Tcm-HMPAO leucocytes demonstrated similar diagnostic accuracy to 111In-labelled leucocytes with improved image quality and reduced radiation dose.Keywords
