“…[4] For this reason, some authors advocate the evaluation of patients with scintigraphic methods before undergoing endoscopy or angiography. [3,[5][6][7][8] The aim of this retrospective study is to report our clinical experience with red blood cell (RBC) scintigraphy and to discuss the role of this method in light of the contemporary literature.…”

“…Some studies have recommended scintigraphic evaluation as the first method to be employed. [3,[5][6][7][8] In the present study, RBC scintigraphy was not the initial diagnostic method, since all patients had received at least one radiological examination prior to their referral to our clinic. However, no positive result was obtained in any of these examinations for the foci of the bleeding.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7] The study should be performed with red cells that have been labeled in vitro to minimize the presence of free tracer. Imaging should be continuous in a dynamic mode, at a rate of 120 frames per hour, and with repeating acquisitions until there is a positive finding or until four hours have elapsed.…”

“…However, many other authors have documented the value of red-cell scintigraphy, with a sensitivity that ranges from 42 to 94 percent, and have reported correct localization of the site of bleeding in 52 to 97 percent of the cases. [3][4][5][6][7] The study should be performed with red cells that have been labeled in vitro to minimize the presence of free tracer. Imaging should be continuous in a dynamic mode, at a rate of 120 frames per hour, and with repeating acquisitions until there is a positive finding or until four hours have elapsed.…”
