Leukocyte scintigraphy is a medical imaging test which displays the distribution of radiolabeled (for example labeled with 111In indium) leukocytes in the body to detect infection / inflammation. Whole-body scintigrams, and/or images of specific anatomic regions are recorded. Additionally, single photon emission computed tomography can be obtained.

Whole body scintigraphy is the measurement of radioactivity in the entire body.
Whole body scintigraphy is useful for example in detection of tumors, infections, evaluation of metastases, and diseases with multiple organ involvement.
Different whole body scan techniques include:
