title: Detection and localization of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis with radionuclide venography.
abstract: Radionuclide venography has been performed in 180 patients for evaluation of the lower extremity deep venous system. 21 of these patients suffered from a pelvic vein thrombosis, in 5 out of these patients a systemic-portal shunting of blood has been discovered. Also the collateral circulation in the patients with a lower extremity deep venous thrombosis has been clearly shown. Radionuclide venography is a relatively simple method of thrombus detection in the pelvic veins and the lower extremity deep venous system.
