Overview
Tc-99m labeled anti-CD15 antibodies may be helpful in the diagnosis of appendicitis.
Other Imaging Findings
Tc-99m labeled anti-CD15 antibodies may be helpful in the diagnosis of appendicitis. Increased uptake of the Tc-99m labeled anti-CD15 antibodies in the right lower quadrant after injection is mostly diagnostic of acute appendicitis.[1][2]
