title: [Value of phlebo-scintigraphy for clarifying thromboembolic processes in the pelvis and legs].
abstract: In 64 patients suspected of having had pulmonary emboli due to thrombo-embolic disease, radionuclide venography (RNV) and contrast phlebography were carried out (84 examinations of extremities, 64 examinations of extremities and pelvis). Phleboscintigraphy proved informative in the thigh and in the pelvis. Around the knee, RNV was sufficiently accurate as a screening method. In the calf, RNV was of diagnostic value only in the presence of positive findings on scintigraphy.
