DISCUSSION Employing this technique, the spleen could be visualized in three dimen sions
in almost all cases. The spleen is located posterolaterally in the left upper abdomen and …

Clinically significant splenomegaly is frequently not apparent upon routine physical and
roentographic examinations. In addition, it may be difficult to. differentiate an enlarged …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-six normal subjects (10 females, 16 males), aged
20— 38years, were selected for the initial portion of the study. In each volunteer the spleen …

We report our initial clinical experience with a simplified spleen-imaging technique that
requires no red cell washing or special kits. Thirty minutes after an injection of" cold" …

Method The scintigraphy was performed with 70 MBq (1.89 mCi) 99Tcffi colloid, 800000
counts being recorded in each projection with a display on film with a Micro Dot Imager …

RESULTS Decreased splenic uptake. In 24 scans the uptake of radiocolloid by the spleen
was decreased in com parison with the uptake by the liver; the bone marrow delineation was …

When 2-3 mc of indium 113m colloid is injected intravenously for liver scanning, it is also
accumulated by the spleen. The splenic uptake is high enough to produce excellent scans in …

[en] This paper discusses spleen imaging for morphologic, hematologic, congenital or
traumatic conditions, usually appropriately performed using Tc-99m colloid. Occasional …

DISCUSSION In normal or abnormal locations splenic tissue cannot be evaluated well by
physical examination. For this reason, visualization of the spleen by radio nuclide scanning …

A simple technique of splenic localization with 99mTc-labeled red blood cells is described. A
blood sample is obtained 30 minutes after administration of nonradioactive pyrophosphate …
