Article Synopsis
- Nuclear medicine infection imaging typically uses technetium-99m radiolabelled leukocytes with SPECT, but zirconium-89 offers improved sensitivity and image quality through PET technology, allowing delayed imaging for better accuracy in locating infections.
- A study explored the application of zirconium-labelled leukocytes for infection imaging in patients, comparing results from PET and SPECT to assess the quality and distribution of these radiolabelled cells.
- Results showed successful labelling with high efficiency and viability of the zirconium-labelled leukocytes, indicating potential benefits over traditional imaging methods.
