Abstract
Radiolabelled non-specific polyclonal human immunoglobulin G (HIG) has been recognized as a reliable modality for localization of infection and inflammation. The assessment of active joint inflammation is of great interest in some rheumatologic diseases, however it is prone to subjective variables as a gold standard is not available.
