[Isotope methods in the diagnosis of venous disease. I. Methods of radionuclide venography (author's transl)]. / Nuklearmedizinische Untersuchungsverfahren in der radiologischen Venendiagnostik. I. Methoden der Radionuklidvenographie.

ABSTRACT

The method of radionuclide venography is best determined by the localisation and type of suspected venous abnormality. The authors describe four methods using 99mTc microspheres and 99mTc-pertechnetate. Correlation of the isotope and angiographic findings in 150 patients indicated an accuracy of 90% for the isotope methods. The risks of radionuclide venography are discussed. Isotope venography is recommended as a simple, non-invasive technique.
