Immunoscintigraphy is a medical imaging technique that utilizes radiolabeled antibodies or antibody fragments to visualize specific tissues or tumors within the body. It combines the principles of immunology and scintigraphy, which is a form of nuclear medicine imaging. In immunoscintigraphy, the antibodies used are typically designed to target specific antigens that are uniquely expressed or overexpressed on the surface of certain cancer cells or other tissues of interest.
