Reconsideration of the primary and secondary diagnostic criteria of Meckel's diverticulum scintigraphy. A study of 93 confirmed cases.

CONCLUSION: Location in the right lower quadrant and round shape of the lesions are not the primary diagnostic factors for Meckel's diverticulum. The establishment of the diagnosis of MD requires careful consideration of other imaging characteristics such as: a) The onset of lesions' radioactivity to correspond with the onset of the gastric activity and b) The lesions' radioactivity to gradually increase during the scan procedure.
