  • Title: Aspiration Incidentally Detected by a Meckel Scintigraphy.
    Author: Bai X, Fostitsch JC, Zhuang H.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2017 Dec; 42(12):985-987. PubMed ID: 29076905.
    Abstract:
    Meckel scintigraphy with Tc-pertechnetate was performed in a 5-year-old boy to determine whether a Meckel diverticulum containing ectopic gastric mucosa caused bleeding. The images did not reveal focal activity characteristic of a Meckel diverticulum. Unexpectedly, activity in the tracheobronchial tree was visualized, consistent with aspiration of the radioactive saliva.
