Abstract

Objective In this study, our objective was to define the usefulness of technetium-99m hexamethyl propylene amine oxime (Tc-99m HMPAO)-labeled leukocyte scintigraphy at three different time points in the assessment of disease extension and severity in patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC).
