Does imaging with 111In-labelled platelets accurately detect deep vein thrombosis compared to venography in patients?
111In-labelled platelet imaging offers a useful method for diagnosing early and established deep vein thrombi in the lower limb, with good correlation to venography.
Grimley et al. (1981) conducted a cross-sectional in Deep vein thrombosis (n=27). 111In-labelled platelet imaging vs. Bilateral ascending venography was evaluated on Overall correlation with venography for detecting thrombi. Imaging with 111In-labelled platelets demonstrated an 84.4% overall correlation with venography for detecting deep vein thrombi in the lower limb.
