  • Title: Meckel's diverticulum: demonstration of heterotopic gastric mucosa with technetium-99m-pertechnetate SPECT.
    Author: Connolly LP, Treves ST, Bozorgi F, O'Connor SC.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1998 Aug; 39(8):1458-60. PubMed ID: 9708529.
    Abstract:
    Demonstration of functioning heterotopic gastric mucosa with 99mTc-pertechnetate SPECT is reported. Abnormal tracer uptake was shown conclusively with SPECT but not with planar imaging. When a Meckel's diverticulum is suspected, we suggest SPECT be performed if the results of planar scintigraphy are equivocal and that it be considered if there is a high clinical suspicion and planar imaging is normal.
