Abstract

To estimate the bone marrow involvement of leukemia, we peformed scintigraphies using $^{99m}Tc$ antimony sulfide colloid and Gallium-67. Total 13 patients were included and obtained 14 study sets of $^{99m}Tc$ antimony sulfide colloid and gallium-67 and compared with bone marrow aspiration biopsy and clinicolaboratory datas. $^{99m}Tc$ Antimony scan showed localized defect in 4 patients who had relapse. No false positive or negative results were observed. Gallium 67 showed localized increased uptake in 2 of 4 relapsed patients. Therefore, bone marrow scan is useful for the evaluation of marrow infiltration in ieukemic patients.
