| Popis: | 99mTc-HMPAO labeled leukocyte scanning was performed on 38 patients with clinically suspected acute cholecystitis (AC) to evaluate its diagnostic value. The typical finding was an increasing accumulation of the tracer in the gallbladder wall in a 4 hour series of scintigrams. Leukocyte scan was positive in 16 of 17 patients with surgically and histologically confirmed AC. There were no false-positive findings. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of scintigraphy were 94, 100, and 96%, respectively. In 2 patients with acute acalculous cholecystitis true-positive findings were observed. Scintigraphy with 99mTc-HMPAO labeled leukocytes is a valuable new imaging method in AC. |
