Comparison of two-dimensional echocardiography with scanography and indium-111 platelet scintigraphy in detection of intracardiac thrombi.
The authors compare three diagnostic-imaging methods (two-dimensional-echography, heart scans and indium-111 platelet scintigraphy) used in the detection of intracardiac thrombi in 82 patients. They attempt to define their respective diagnostic values in the presence of left ventricular and atrial thrombi.
