Key result
Radionuclide venography showed a 72% overall correlation with X-ray contrast venography, providing more reliable information in patients with proximal femoral or iliac occlusions.

Does radionuclide venography provide reliable imaging compared to X-ray contrast venography in patients with proximal venous occlusion?
Radionuclide venography is a less invasive alternative that provides more reliable information than ascending contrast venography in patients with proximal venous occlusions, though it is less effective at the calf level.
Bentley et al. (1979) conducted an observational in Proximal venous occlusion (n=100). Radionuclide venography (RNV) vs. X-ray contrast venography (XRV) was evaluated on Overall correlation between the two methods of investigation. Radionuclide venography showed a 72% overall correlation with X-ray contrast venography, providing more reliable information in patients with proximal femoral or iliac occlusions.
