title: [Imaging of intra-cardiac thrombi with indium 111 scintigraphy].
abstract: Intracardiac thrombi can be localized and quantified by Indium-111-labelling of thrombocytes with a high sensitivity and specificity. The scintigraphic procedure has a complementary evidence to echocardiography. Scintigraphy shows activity and age of thrombosis, whereas echocardiography seems to be superior in determination of mass and localization. In older thrombi scintigraphy fails because of organisation and endothelialization of the thrombus surface. For the reason of determination of the age of an intraventricular thrombus this method might have an increasing acceptance.
