Rectal juvenile polyp detected on (99m)Tc-pertechnetate abdominal scintigraphy (Meckel scan).
    Clinical nuclear medicine, 2013, Volume: 38, Issue:6

    An 8-year-old boy presented with first episode of rectal bleeding. Initial hemoglobin was 9 g/dL. A Meckel scan showed a hyperemic focus in the lower pelvis. Colonoscopy identified a juvenile polyp with dysplasia in the rectosigmoid region. It is important to carefully evaluate the dynamic flow images in the Meckel scan because pathology other than a Meckel diverticulum may be identified.

Hepatobiliary clearance of intravenous Tc-99m pertechnetate.
    Clinical nuclear medicine, 1995, Volume: 20, Issue:11

    The normal biodistribution of Tc-99m pertechnetate includes the thyroid gland, salivary glands, choroid plexus, and gastric mucosa. The primary route of excretion is through renal clearance. The authors describe two cases in which hepatobiliary excretion of intravenously administered Tc-99m pertechnetate was observed during scanning for Meckel's diverticulum as a possible source of gastrointestinal bleeding.
