Supports Tc-99m RBC venography feasibility for upper extremity DVT; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Can Technetium-99m Red Blood Cell venography be used to evaluate upper extremity deep venous thrombosis?
Tc-99m RBC venography, known for lower extremity DVT evaluation, can also be utilized to study upper extremity deep venous thrombosis.
SILVERSTEIN et al. (1987) studied this question. Technetium-99m red blood cell venography was successfully used to evaluate upper and lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in a patient with pulmonary embolism.
