Labeled-leukocyte scintigraphy — In-111 oxine WBC vs Tc-99m HMPAO WBC — for occult infection and osteomyelitis, with Ga-67 citrate as a teaching aside. A living study template with preparation holds, a facility acquisition journey with Maggoo, interpretation cases, and board-style questions.
Facts follow the protocol selected under Image acquisition (In-111 oxine WBC vs Tc-99m HMPAO WBC, top-right toggle). Values are typical SNMMI teaching ranges.

Top-down facility view. Maggoo follows the In-111 oxine WBC protocol: check-in → blood draw → ex vivo labeling (~2–3 h) → IV reinjection of labeled WBCs → optional early image at 4 h → overnight wait → 24-hour image → branch (marrow map / SPECT / Ga-67 teaching aside) → departure.
