Splenic salvage quantified by uptake of heat-damaged radiolabeled red blood cells: experimental and clinical studies

We evaluated a noninvasive radionuclide technique to quantify splenic trapping function, which is a key step in the disposition of blood-borne particulates such as poorly opsonized encapsulated microorganisms implicated in hyposplenic fulminant sepsis. Using computerized external gamma imaging, the...
