Introduction: Nuclear medicine is essential to identify physiological disorders, one of the applications is on imaging of labeled leukocytes, which allows to identify and assess infections. Objective: The objective of this work was to analyze on a general basis the effectiveness of the imaging of labeled leukocytes in infection diagnosis emphasizing periprosthetic joint infection. Methods: To carry out the research, were identified papers that match the keywords on the data bases LILACS, MEDLINE, SCIELO and Scholar Google. Results: The papers published in 2017-2022 stated that there are gaps to be filled, although labeled leukocytes scintigraphy represents the best accuracy. Conclusion: Labeled leukocytes scintigraphy, combined with bone marrow scintigraphy and SPECT/CT when necessary, is the gold standard for differential diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection.
