Discordant gallium-67 and indium-111 leukocyte images in a suspected pelvic abscess

Journal Article · · Clin. Nucl. Med.; (United States)
An Indium-111 labeled white blood cell scan suggested the presence of a pelvic abscess in a woman at four weeks postpartum. This was not identified on a subsequent gallium scan. This discrepancy can be attributed to the normal accumulation of white blood cells within the uterus at one month postpartum.
