Book your 99mTc-RBC Labelled Scan at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, which is an NABL- and NABH-accredited diagnostic centre that offers cutting-edge Nuclear Medicine, Radiology, and Pathology care. During this nuclear medicine test, red blood cells (RBCs) are labelled with technetium-99m (99mTc) to assess blood flow patterns and areas. Advanced imaging technology and adherence to proper radiation safety precautions are utilized by our knowledgeable and skilled nuclear medicine specialists for accurate assessment.

About 99mTc - RBC Labelled Scan

99mTc-RBC Labelled Scan is a nuclear medicine imaging test that provides a small amount of radioactive Technetium-99m, which is tagged onto the patient's red blood cells. The labelled cells then travel around the body and are detected by a gamma camera. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, highly specialised nuclear medicine imaging techniques provide functional data regarding flow and blood activity.

What is a 99mTc - RBC Labelled Scan?

A 99mTc-RBC Labelled Scan is a technique that uses Technetium-99m (99mTc) to label the red blood cells (RBCs), and it is injected into the patient's bloodstream. Subsequently, labelled RBCs are tracked by measuring their distribution with gamma camera movement. The scan helps the doctor detect ongoing bleeding, abnormal blood pooling, or other blood vessel abnormalities.

Common Reasons for 99mTc - RBC Labelled Scan

• Suspected gastrointestinal bleeding
• Detection of active internal bleeding
• Evaluation of blood pooling
• Assessment of vascular abnormalities
• Localization of bleeding sites
• Evaluation of selected cardiac conditions
• Assessment of blood circulation

Conditions Evaluated

Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Helps identify and localize active bleeding within the gastrointestinal tract.

Internal Bleeding

It assists in detecting areas of active bleeding that are difficult to localize with conventional investigations.

Vascular Abnormalities

Provides functional information about abnormal blood flow or blood pooling.

Cardiac Blood Pool

In selected protocols, labelled RBCs are used to assess cardiac blood-pool function.

Who Should Consider This Scan?

Your doctor recommends a 99mTc-RBC Labelled Scan if you:

• Have unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding
• Have suspected active internal bleeding
• Need localization of a bleeding source
• Require evaluation of abnormal blood pooling
• Need functional assessment of blood circulation
• Require selected cardiac blood-pool evaluation
