Abstrakt		Scintigraphy with labelled leukocytes is an imaging procedure in nuclear medicine which localises inflammatory activity. In gastroenterology, it is mostly used in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and in those with suspected abdominal abscess. Due to numerous advantages 99mTc-labelled leukocytes are preferentially used. In IBD patients, the disease activity and localisation is assessed with high sensitivity. Sensitivity is also high for abdominal abscess localisation. Labelled leukocyte scintigraphy is a complementary diagnostic modality to endoscopic and radiologic procedures and contributes importantly to management of patients with suspected intraabdominal inflammatory process.
Izvleček		Scintigraiija z označenimi levkociti je nuklearnomedicinska slikovna preiskava, ki omogoča prikaz vnetnega procesa. V gastroenterologiji se najpogosteje uporablja pri bolnikih s kronično vnetno črevesno boleznijo (KVCB) in pri sumu na absces v trebušni votlini. Zaradi številnih prednosti so levkociti navadno označeni z 99mTc-HMPAO. V diagnostiki KVCB ima preiskava veliko občutljivost za aktivnost in distribucijo bolezni, zelo občutljiva pa je tudi pri lokaciji abscesov v trebušni votlini. Scintigralija z označenimi levkociti ne nadomešča, temveč dopolnjuje endoskopske in radiološke slikovne preiskave in pomembno prispeva k obravnavi gastroenteroloških bolnikov s sumom na vnetno dogajanje v trebušni votlini.
