• A 0.5 mCi dose of white blood cells labeled with ¹¹¹In-WBCs is injected intravenously.

• Images are obtained 24 hours following tracer injection.

• Whole-body planar imaging (Fig. 111.1) and whole-body SPECT imaging (Fig. 111.2) with a dual-detector gamma camera

• Medium-energy collimators

• Energy peaks: 173 and 247 keV

• Use of software to fuse SPECT and CT images in axial and coronal projections (Figs. 111.3, 111.4, 111.5, 111.6,
