Technetium-99m HMPAO labelled leucocyte scanning in the inital diagnosis of Crohn's disease

Department of Nuclear Medicine The General Infirmary at Leeds Great George Street Leeds West Yorkshire LSI3EX

This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

I read the paper by Malcolm et al on leucocyte scanning with interest [1]. I agree that this is an underutilized technique, but the suggestion that it should be used in a screening role makes me rather nervous. Certainly in our department we would be unable to cope with the number of scans likely to be generated by our gastroenterologists, who have a large inflammatory bowel disease practice.
