Acquisition

 

-  Use gammacamera with paralell medium or high energy collimator for imaging.

-  Set photopeaks of In-111 at 173 and 247 keV.

-  Obtain whole body acquisition (5 cm/min) and spot views over area of interest at 4 h and 24 h.

-  Likewise, Spect of abdomen and/or thorax are useful.
