Gamma camera detection of 99mTC-plasmin in the diagnosis of deep-vein thrombosis.
99mTc-Plasmin scintigraphy of suspected vein thrombosis registered by a gamma camera was compared with phlebography. The results indicate that the plasmin test can be an alternative method to phlebography. The plasmin test registered by a gamma camera has a high sensitivity but relatively low specificity; this agrees with the results of previous investigations regarding registration with a single detector.
