The ability of both techniques to visualize areas of disease in this condition was demonstrated. When compared with endoscopy (either upper gastrointestinal endoscopy or colonoscopy), Ga-67 citrate had a sensitivity of 0.80 and a specificity of 1.00. The sensitivity and specificity of In-111 labeled leucocytes was 0.60 and 0.96, respectively. The superiority of Ga-67 over In-111 was statistically significant. Positive scintigrams were obtained despite prior treatment with antituberculous chemotherapy.
