Hypothesis-generating for In-111 platelet scintigraphy in TIA embolization; prospective validation required before clinical adoption.
Does In-111 labeled platelet scintigraphy demonstrate intracerebral platelet accumulation as evidence for embolization of carotid origin in patients with TIA?
In-111 labeled platelet scintigraphy provides direct imaging evidence supporting the arterio-arterial embolic mechanism of transient ischemic attacks.
Christoph Keßler (1992) studied this question.
