Key result
Tc-99m RBC labeling improves vascular delineation for pseudoaneurysm diagnosis versus standard radionuclide angiography.
Why the study?
A noninvasive technique for diagnosing pseudoaneurysms with better vascular delineation than standard radionuclide angiography was needed.
Does in vivo labeling of red blood cells with Tc-99m improve the noninvasive diagnosis of pseudoaneurysms compared to standard radionuclide angiography?

May aid select noninvasive pseudoaneurysm evaluations; case-report data leave broader utility open pending prospective validation.
ERTZNER et al. (1985) studied this question. In vivo labeling of red blood cells with Tc-99m provides better delineation of vascular anatomy for noninvasive pseudoaneurysm diagnosis than standard radionuclide angiography.
