Abstract

Abdominal pain is a common complaint in children and its differential diagnosis includes inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of scintigraphy with 99mTechnetium Hexamethylpropyleneamine Oxime (99mTc-HMPAO) labeled leukocytes in children with suspected IBD.
