5 min (a), 20 min (b) and 60 min (c) after administering 1 mCi of Technetium-99 m pertechnetate intravenously, planar scintigraphy was performed respectively. Images showed a focal concentration at the small intestine region of the lower abdomen

Planar scintigraphy showed a focal concentration at the small intestine region of the lower abdomen (Fig. 1).
5 min (a), 20 min (b) and 60 min (c) after administering 1.5 mCi of Technetium-99 m pertechnetate intravenously, planar scintigraphy was performed respectively. Images showed two focal concentrations under the liver at the right lower quadrant of abdomen region

We could not determine whether it was caused by physiological uptake of the right kidney or by an ectopic gastric mucosa (Fig. 2).
Axial SPECT/CT image of the Meckel's diverticulum. a Axial image SPECT shows one focal concentration in the right abdomen (arrow). b CT demonstrated a blind-ending tubular structure in the right abdomen (arrow). Anatomical relationship between the focal concentration and right kidney cannot be identified. c Axial SPECT/CT fusion image showed that it was in front of the kidney that the focal concentration lays (arrows)

Considering that the patient had been diagnosed with Meckel's diverticulum 7 years ago, we performed a SPECT/CT fusion imaging to the patient (Fig. 3).
