Peripheral graft infection due to Staphylococcus aureus without abnormal findings by 99mTc-HMPAO-labeled-leukocyte scan.
Here, we present the case of an extremely subtle peripheral graft infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The lack of local signs and the negativity of all imaging studies, including (99m)Tc-HMPAO-Labelled-Leukocyte Scan which is reported to have 100% sensitivity, delayed the diagnosis and therapy, which were both provided by surgery.
متن کاملThe usefulness of 99mTc-HMPAO-labeled leukocyte scintigraphy in the diagnosis of skeletal metastases of cancers.
The usefulness of bone marrow scintigraphy with 99mTc-HMPAO-labeled leukocytes (leukocyte bone marrow scintigraphy) in the diagnosis of skeletal metastases of cancers was investigated in 70 lesions in 27 patients with various types of cancer. The final diagnosis of skeletal metastases was based on one or more criteria consisting of histological confirmation, typical findings of metastases by bo...
متن کاملUsefulness of hybrid SPECT/CT in 99mTc-HMPAO-labeled leukocyte scintigraphy for bone and joint infections.
UNLABELLED White blood cell scanning with (99m)Tc-hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (HMPAO) has proven highly sensitive and specific in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with suspected osteomyelitis. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the usefulness of SPECT and transmission CT performed simultaneously using a hybrid imaging device for the functional anatomic mapping of bone ...
متن کاملUsefulness of hybrid SPECT/CT for the 99mTc-HMPAO-labeled leukocyte scintigraphy in a case of cranial osteomyelitis.
Cranial osteomyelitis is a potentially fatal lesion. White blood cell scanning (WBC) with 99mTc-hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (HMPAO) has proven highly sensitive and specific in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with suspected osteomyelitis. In this report we show the usefulness of SPECT and transmission CT performed simultaneously using a hybrid imaging device for the functional anatom...
متن کامل99mTc-HMPAO-labeled WBC scan for the diagnosis of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis.
The goal of this teaching case study is to demonstrate the novel use of (99m)Tc-HMPAO-labeled white blood cells (WBCs) in diagnosing chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO). (99m)Tc-HMPAO-labeled white blood cells were utilized to diagnose CRMO. Classically, CRMO is evaluated scintigraphically using (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate/hydroxymethylene diphosphonate. (99m)Tc-HMPAO-labeled ...
