Scintigraphy using a technetium 99m‐labelled anti‐E‐selectin Fab fragment in rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract

(99m)Tc-anti-E-selectin-Fab scintigraphy can be used successfully to image synovitis with better specificity than (99m)Tc-HDP bone scanning. The advantages over (111)In-1.2B6-F(ab')(2) are easier availability of the radionuclide, improved physical properties and optimal imaging 4 h after injection.
