Evaluation of radiocolloids as thrombus imaging agents. Effect of particle size on thrombus uptake.
Thrombus uptake values of several 99mTc labeled radiocolloids determined using an experimental rodent model of deep venous thrombosis were correlated with particle size distributions. The thrombus uptake values increased with increasing mean particle size. The 99mTc-tin colloid had the highest thrombus uptake value of any of the colloids used in this study.
