Scintigraphy with technetium-99m labelled white blood cells (WBCs) is routinely used in our
hospital for the assessment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The main disadvantages of …

The diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) needs a complex diagnostic work-up.
Beside verifying the disease itself, it is fundamental to assess disease extent and activity and …
