Imaging of inflammatory processes with labeled cells.

J W Froelich, D Swanson

    Seminars in Nuclear Medicine
    |April 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Indium-111 labeled leukocytes offer advanced imaging for inflammatory conditions like osteomyelitis and infections. This radiopharmaceutical is a valuable tool for diagnosing fever of unknown origin and shows promise for inflammatory bowel disease recurrence.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Radiopharmaceutical Science

    Background:

    • Radionuclide imaging for inflammation historically used 67Ga-citrate.
    • Development of 111In-oxine labeled leukocytes by McAfee and Thakur in 1976 revolutionized inflammatory process localization.
    • Ongoing advancements in radiopharmaceutical development and clinical validation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current clinical applications of Indium-111 labeled leukocytes.
    • To explore potential future uses of this radiopharmaceutical.
    • To highlight its role in diagnosing specific inflammatory conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Radiolabeling of leukocytes with Indium-111 oxine.
    • Clinical evaluation in patients with suspected inflammatory processes.
    • Review of existing literature and preliminary data.

    Main Results:

    • 111In-labeled leukocytes are the preferred agent for fever of unknown origin, osteomyelitis, and prosthetic graft infections.
    • The radiopharmaceutical, though investigational, is clinically available.
    • Promising preliminary data exists for detecting inflammatory bowel disease recurrence.

    Conclusions:

    • Indium-111 leukocytes are a crucial diagnostic tool in modern nuclear medicine.
    • Its efficacy is established for several key inflammatory conditions.
    • Further research is warranted to expand its application, particularly in inflammatory bowel disease.
