Infective severe acute pancreatitis: A comparison of 99mTc-ciprofloxacin scintigraphy and computed tomography

Figure 2 ^99mTc-ciprofloxacin and computed tomography imaging of a normal swine pancreas and both non-infected severe acute pancreatitis swine and an animal with secondary infection associated with severe acute pancreatitis. A: No uptake indicating no infection, and a homogenous pancreatic parenchyma is evident in the normal pancreas by computed tomography imaging; B: A lower accumulation of ^99mTc-ciprofloxacin in the pancreatic necroses of non-infected severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) swine; C: A higher accumulation of this agent in SAP swine with a secondary infection focus is evident.
