Isotope Profile Investigations for the Detection of Venous Thrombosis in the Legs with the Use of ¹³¹I-MAA

Summary

Twenty patients were tested with an isotope profile method for the detection of venous thrombosis in the leg.

¹³¹I-MAA was introduced into the dorsal vein of the foot. The results of the test agreed with the results of phlebography. The authors stress the simplicity and accuracy of the above method.

Bei 20 Patienten wurde die Profilmethode zur Untersuchung der Venenthrombose wegen des klinischen Verdachtes auf Thrombosyndrome der unteren Extremitäten verwendet.

¹³¹J-MAA wurde in die dorsale Fußvene injiziert. Der Test steht im Einklang mit den phlebographischen Untersuchungen. Die Autoren unterstreichen, daß die angewandte Methode einfach und wirksam ist.
