Increased mammary uptake on 111In pentetreotide scintigraphy.

abstract：:Tc-99m RBC scintigraphy is favored by many investigators because it provides the ability to image the abdomen over a prolonged period of time, thereby allowing identification of delayed bleeding sites that are frequently encountered due to the intermittent nature of gastrointestinal bleeding. The authors describe a ca...
