ABSTRACT
The use of In-111 labeled leukocytes for abscess localization is becoming well established. The first report of In-111 imaging following hepatic embolization is presented. A 45-year-old man with adenocarcinoma of the colon and metastatic liver disease was treated for intractable pain using particulate embolization of the hepatic artery. In-111 leukocyte imaging was performed to rule out abscess formation. The distribution of the labeled leukocytes demonstrated hepatic uptake commensurate with Tc-99m sulfur colloid (SC) images. Areas of embolization did not accumulate tracer. Pathologic examination at autopsy correlated with the distribution of the labeled leukocytes. Thus, therapeutic embolization did not alter the normal distribution of this tracer in functional hepatic tissue.
