I am looking for an imaging protocol for a dual isotope (99mTc MDP and In-111 WBC) scan. If anyone has a detailed protocol I am interested in taking a look at it.

I am looking for specifics as far as injection amounts, times, scan times, and imaging acquisition info to include collimator types, etc.

Thank you,

We normally withdraw the blood for the wbc, inject for the bone ..3 hrs later you scan the bone by then the WBC dose should be back, reinject, scan 4-24-48 hrs, then if you need to ruleout marrow redistribution its a sulfur colloid bone.
