Scintigraphic Diagnosis of Meckel's Diverticulum

Adiseshan, N. and Neely, M. G. (1976). Aust. paediat. J., 12, 322–325. Scintigraphic diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum. Tc‐pertechnetate abdominal scintigraphy, employing a standardised procedure, was used in a group of 15 patients clinically suspected of having Meckel's diverticula and in a control group of 15 patients. Four patients with scintigraphic evidence of Meckel's diverticulum had the lesion at laparotomy. The scintigraphic procedure proved simple and reliable. The possible limitations are discussed.
