Dramatic intestinal uptake of 99mTc pertechnetate in a pediatric patient with enteritis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A pediatric patient with enteritis, which showed dramatically diffuse uptake of 99mTc pertechnetate in the intestine, is reported. Repeated study after medical treatment exhibited complete disappearance of the intestinal uptake. 99mTc pertechnetate scintigraphy has the potentiality for diagnosing and monitoring active enteritis.
