Scintigraphic imaging with radiolabeled blood elements has
continued to be a useful diagnostic modality. The major trust of
recent investigation has been in simplifying labeling techniques
and developing new agents that will label blood elements
selectively in vitro. The VI Symposium of the International Society
of Radiolabeled Blood Elements was held in Barcelona (Spain) during
November 23 to 27, 1992.The conference was sponsored by the NATO
Scientific Affairs Division, the USA Department of Energy and the
Spanish National Health Service. This monograph comprises articles
that represent most of the 85 papers (70 oral and 15 posters)
presented during the symposium. The meeting was attended by 110
investigators hailed from 21 countries. Although lllIn-oxine and
99mTc-HMPAO remain the choice agents for labeling blood components
for routine applications, there was heavy emphasis on developing
new labeling agents that will either simplify the in vitro labeling
procedure, or, even better, will label blood components selectively
in vivo, by injecting the radioactive agents directly into
patients. The degree of success in imaging target lesions in humans
by using these agents has been excellent.
