  • Title: Acute effects of radiation therapy on indium-111-labeled leukocyte uptake in bone marrow.
    Author: Palestro CJ, Kim CK, Vega A, Goldsmith SJ.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1989 Nov; 30(11):1889-91. PubMed ID: 2509649.
    Abstract:
    We recently performed [99mTc]MDP bone and 111In-labeled leukocyte scintigraphy on a patient receiving radiation therapy to the lower cervical and upper thoracic spine. While the bone images revealed only minimally increased activity in the radiation port, leukocyte images revealed diffuse, intensely increased uptake in this same region. Radiation therapy should be included in the differential diagnosis of increased bone marrow activity on 111In leukocyte images.
