Does the 99Tcm-plasmin test accurately detect deep vein thrombosis compared to the 125I-fibrinogen uptake test and X-ray contrast phlebography?
The 99Tcm-plasmin test is a rapid and potentially effective screening tool for deep vein thrombosis, demonstrating high concordance with established diagnostic methods.
