FIG. 1. LeuTech scan performed in a 43-year-old woman presenting with right lower quadrant abdominal pain, atypical history and equivocal physical examination. Initial management plan was to admit and observe. This anterior LeuTech image performed 40 minutes following injection demonstrates high intensity focal accumulation in the right lower quadrant typical for acute appendicitis. Following the positive scan interpretation, emergency laparotomy was performed. Surgical and histopathological findings indicated acute appendicitis.
