"When Tc-99m sulfur colloid fails to confirm the presence of splenic tissue, a Tc-99m-tagged heat-damaged RBC scan (Tc-99m-DRBC) with autologous erythrocytes remains the gold-standard of imaging, being capable of specifically proving splenic tissue 6,8."
Expected headings
"Tc-99m sulfur colloid scan"
"The diagnosis can be confirmed with a Tc-99m sulfur colloid scan which will demonstrate increased uptake as long as the ectopic splenic tissue is at least 2 cm in diameter; improved sensitivity with hybrid imaging (SPECT-CT) is possible 7."
