Clinical use of indium-111 labeled blood products.
    Clinical nuclear medicine, 1985, Volume: 10, Issue:12

    Following the introduction of In-111 oxine as a label for blood cells by McAffee and Thakur in 1976, these procedures have become increasingly important in the practice of nuclear medicine. Of particular interest are studies involving the use of labeled leukocytes for the detection of focal infection. The clinical utility of labeled platelets is less well developed, although the use of platelets to detect the formation of thrombi in blood vessels and on vascular grafts and prostheses is gaining prominence. This report summarizes the techniques presently employed at the University of Minnesota for the labeling of blood products, and their clinical use. Consideration also is given to the desired expertise and cost factors involved in the labeling of leukocytes and platelets.

Comparison of 99Tcm-HMPAO and 111In-oxine labelled granulocytes in man: first clinical results.
    Nuclear medicine communications, 1988, Volume: 9, Issue:6

    The in vitro and in vivo behaviour of 99Tcm-HMPAO (hexamethylpropyleneamineoxime) (n = 12) and 111In-oxine (n = 11) labelled granulocytes, isolated by density-gradient centrifugation (Metrizamide/plasma gradients), was compared in patients with suspected inflammatory diseases. The in vitro elution of both labels and the viability of the labelled cells (99Tcm, 98.5%; 111In, 96.5%) was comparable but the labelling efficiency was different (99Tcm, 44 +/- 13%; 111In, 72.5 +/- 5.5%). In vivo, the lung (t1/2 max: 7.7 min), liver and spleen perfusion patterns were nearly identical; the image quality for detail in 99Tcm scans was superior to 111In images. The blood disappearance curves of 99Tcm and 111In were comparable. In the small number of patients examined all infections could be diagnosed correctly, without false-positive or false-negative results. Disadvantageous is the renal excretion of 99Tcm complexes (3+% over 20 h) with kidney and bladder activity from the beginning of the study. The biliary excretion in half of the patients (n = 6) with unspecific positive small and large bowel visualization and the late intestinal excretion also render the diagnosis more difficult. The recommended best imaging times for abdominal and retroperitoneal inflammations are 30 min to 2 h after injection. Late scans in septic prosthetic joints have disproportionate long acquisition times. As a potential cell labelling compound, 99Tcm-HMPAO has a promising future in comparison to 111In scans because of the good availability of 99Tcm, the image quality and the lower radiation exposure to the patient when lower activities for the early diagnosis of abdominal inflammatory diseases are reinjected.

Diagnostic value of lung uptake of indium-111 oxine-labeled white blood cells.
    AJR. American journal of roentgenology, 1986, Volume: 147, Issue:3

    One hundred sixty-two white-blood-cell scans were retrospectively reviewed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the test for pulmonary and pleural infection. All scans were performed 18-24 hr after injection of indium-111 oxine-labeled autologous or donor cells. Pulmonary activity was graded on a scale of 0-4: 0 = equal to soft tissue; 1 = greater than soft tissue but less than rib; 2 = equal or greater than rib but less than liver; 3 = equal or greater than liver but less than spleen; 4 = equal to spleen. Activity was also characterized as being focal or diffuse. The white-blood-cell scan findings were correlated with the clinical diagnosis on the basis of physical examination, laboratory results, chest radiographs, clinical course, and pathologic studies when available. As pulmonary activity increased from grade 1 to 4, sensitivity declined from 93% to 14% and specificity increased from 64% to 100%. The sensitivity and specificity of focal uptake were 31% and 89% vs 62% and 74% for diffuse pulmonary activity. Making a distinction between focal and diffuse activity did not improve the specificity of low grades of pulmonary activity. The white-blood-cell scan can be very sensitive or very specific for pulmonary or pleural infection, depending on the criteria selected for a positive scan.
