title: The interpretation of phlebograms using fibrinogen labeled with 99 mTc.
abstract: A new method for the detection of deep-vein thrombosis is presented, consisting of a single antecubital injection of fibrinogen labeled with 99mTc. This atraumatic procedure allows one to visualize the large veins of the lower limbs, the venae iliacae and the distal part of the vena cava inferior. This paper discusses how to interpret these phlebograms.
