Abstract

We describe here a protocol for labelling autologous white blood cells with (99m)Tc-HMPAO based on previously published consensus papers and guidelines. This protocol includes quality control and safety procedures and is in accordance with current European Union regulations and International Atomic Energy Agency recommendations.
