Description

Heat-denatured 99mTc-labeled red blood cells (RBCs) are used for detecting splenic tissues with scintigraphy. The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using heat-denatured [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG)-labeled RBCs in detecting splenic tissues using positron emission tomography (PET) in rats.
