چکیده

background the ability to follow the distribution and migration of biologically active cells in human is essential for the development of cell-based therapies and diagnostics. nuclear medicine imaging is widely applied in clinic as an attractive technique for in vivo wbc and stem cell tracking. the aim of this study was to evaluate prosthesis infection of a 51 years old man with previous history of hip prosthesis in the left side 17 years ago, and pain in the left femur since 7 months ago using 99mtc-hmpao labeled wbc.   methods: after sterile isolation of patient's wbcs from rbc and platelet, they were incubated with 30 mci of 99mtc-hmpao for 20 minutes. the labeled wbcs were isolated from 99mtc-hmpao by centrifuge (450 g, 5 min) in sterile condition and reinjected to the patient. planar imaging was acquired (256 × 256 matrix, 5 min) two & four hours post injection.   results: planar images showed no uptake on the left femur (suspicious to infection) which excludes the patient from surgery replacement of the prosthesis.    conclusion: leukocyte scintigraphy with 99mtc-hmpao has been a useful diagnostic method for three decades in the detection of bone infection, fever of unknown origin and suspicion of acute appendicitis.   key words: leukocyte labeling, hip prosthesis, 99mtc-hmpao, scintigraphy.

Tc-99m Labeled HMPAO white Blood Cell Scintigraphy in Pediatric Patients

OBJECTIVE (99m)Tc labeled hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (HMPAO) white blood cell (WBC) scintigraphy is a frequently used option for acute infection, particularly in pediatric patients. This scintigraphy is applied to detect sites of infection/inflammation in patients with fever of unknown origin, to find and follow up osteomyelitis, and to detect suspicion of acute appendicitis. The aim of th...

Nano Liposomes Labeled with (99m)Tc-HMPAO, a Novel Agent for Blood Pool Imaging.

In-vitro labeling of RBC with (99m)Tc is an intricate procedure and there is always a need for an alternate blood pool imaging agent. The aim of this study was to prepare an effective nano sized liposome (NLs) similar to human RBC for blood pool scintigraphy. This study formulates PEG-NLs and non-PEG-NLs using film method plus high pressure homogenization technique. Biodistribution studies were...

Clinical significance of additional lateral imaging in diagnosis of prosthesis infection by combined Tc-99m labeled leukocyte/bone marrow scintigraphy

Introduction: Recently the most accurate diagnostic method in the diagnosis of prosthesis infection is the combination of Tc-99m labeled leukocyte/bone marrow imaging. However the diagnostic efficiency of the test is influenced because of its low spatial resolution. Recently SPECT/CT imaging is implicated in this test with efficient additional diagnostic improvement. In the dep...

Tc-99m-HMPAO uptake by bronchoalveolar cells.

Lung uptake of intravenously injected Tc-99m-HMPAO is observed in smokers and in lung toxicity due to various agents. We investigated the Tc-99m-HMPAO uptake of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells in the lungs after incubation in in vitro conditions (6 patients), intravenous injection (IV) (7 patients) and inhalation (INH) (6 patients) of Tc-99m-HMPAO in order to show whether BAL cells are also ...
