Implication

The study evaluates the diagnostic correlation between 125I-labelled fibrinogen and phlebography for deep-vein thrombosis.

Key Points

To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the 125I-labelled fibrinogen uptake test in detecting deep-vein thrombosis and determine its correlation with contrast phlebography.
Administered 125I-labelled fibrinogen to evaluate isotopic uptake in patients assessed for deep-vein thrombosis.
Compared diagnostic findings from radioactive surface counting directly with contrast phlebography as the reference standard.
125I-labelled fibrinogen uptake demonstrates diagnostic agreement with venographic findings on phlebography.
The radioactive tracer test enables identification of active thrombus formation in the deep veins of the lower limbs.
