Abstract

Radionuclide venographies were performed in 138 limbs of 58 patients and X-ray contrast venographies were performed in 23 paitents of them. Positive radionuclide venography findings were area of decreased sponding to the region of thrombosis, abnormal collateral flows below the lesion. The success rate of radionulide venography was 89% and the overall concordance between radionuclide venography and X-ray contrast venography was 91%. Radionuclide venography is simple and easy to perform and less invasive than X-ray contrast venography. These results indicate that radionuclide venography is the most ideal screening test for the detection of venous thrombosis in patient with signs & symptoms of deep vein thrombosis.
