DISCUSSION Technetium-99m-pertechnetate scintigraphy is the imaging study of choice for
evaluating children with GI bleeding in whom a Meckel's diverticulum is suspected (/) …

99mTc pertechnetate is actively concentrated by gastric mucosa. This feature was applied to
the detection of ectopic gastric mucosa in Meckel's diverticula in children, using external …

Meckel's diverticulum is a relatively common source of gastrointestinal tract morbidity in
children. Individuals may present with symptoms of lower gastrointestinal tract bleeding …

Tc-pertechnetate scintigraphy was performed in 81 infants and children, clinically suspected
to have Meckel's diverticulum with ectopic gastric mucosa. The predominant symptom was …

Abdominal imaging after intravenous injection of 99mTc pertechnetate is a simple, safe, and
noninvasive diagnostic procedure to show ectopic gastric mucosa, which is present in most …

DISCUSSION The sensitivity of [@ TcJpertechnetate for detecting a Meckel's diverticulum
has been found to be 85%, with a specificity of 95% and an overall accuracy of 90%, in a …

An 8-year-old boy was hospitalized for recurrent painless bleeding. Tc-99m pertechnetate

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the utility of technetium (Tc) 99m pertechnetate
scintigraphy in the diagnostic workup of the pediatric patient with gastrointestinal (GI) …

Abstract Technetium-99m (99m Tc) pertechnetate scintigraphy in a child with acute
gastrointestinal bleeding of unknown origin suggests ectopic gastric mucosa caused by …

Abstract 99m Tc-pertechnetate scanning is now recognized as a useful means of detecting
