Description

To estimate the bone marrow involvement of leukemia, we performed scintigraphies using 99mTc antimony sulfide colloid and Gallium-67 and compared with bone marrow aspiration biopsy and clinicolaboratory data. 99mTc Antimony scan showed localized defect in 4 patients who had relapse. No false positive or negative results were observed. Gallium 67 showed localized increased uptake in 2 of 4 relapsed patients. Therefore, bone marrow scan is useful for the evaluation of marrow infiltration in jeukemic patients.
