Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: A 31-year-old woman underwent 99m Tc-labeled UBI scanning for diagnosis of possible prosthesis infection evaluation in our department. The scan showed an area of increased tracer uptake in the mid-lateral portion of the left thigh. This was proven to be due to a retained surgical gauze in her left thigh.
