Tc-99m labeled RBC blood-pool and Tc-99m sulfur colloid imaging were performed in a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in blast crisis. Functional asplenia was demonstrated on the sulfur colloid study despite intact organ perfusion as demonstrated by blood-pool imaging. Tc-99m RBC blood-pool imaging appears to be an ideal noninvasive technique to document intact spleen perfusion in functional asplenia.
