Radionuclide venography of the lower extremities and inferior vena cava by continuous injection and moving bed gamma camera technique.
Radionuclide venography has proved to be a tedious procedure because of the need for multiple imaging set-ups with coordinated, repeated injections of radionuclide. The use of a moving bed gamma camera has shortened the procedure. This method enables the entire sapheno-femoral-iliac-caval system to be visualized in continuity on a single film. The moving table top system also adequately imaged the suspected areas of thrombi or endothelial damage on the post-exercise study on a single film.
