Core Tip	We successfully used a specific inflammatory agent, 99mTc-ciprofloxacin, which non-invasively detected secondary infections in an infective severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) model with higher sensitivity and accuracy than computed tomography. This method may be an effective tool for accurately diagnosing and assessing the severity of secondary infections in human SAP patients in the future. To our knowledge, there have been no previous studies that have compared the differential diagnosis of non-infectious and infectious SAP using 99mTc-ciprofloxacin imaging and histopathological and biological methods.
