99mTc-Plasmin scintigraphy of suspected vein thrombosis registered by a gamma camera was compared with phlebography. The results indicate that the plasmin test can be an alternative method to phlebography. The plasmin test registered by a gamma camera has a high sensitivity but relatively low specif

99mTc-human serum albumin microcolloid (HSAC) was evaluated for diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the legs of 38 consecutive patients. Five and thirty minutes after IV injection, the 99mTc-HSAC activity in both legs was measured by external counting using a collimated NaI (T1)-detector. T
A 99mTc-plasmin test and phlebography were performed on 45 consecutive unselected patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis of the leg. Phlebography showed thrombosis in 15 cases. In fourteen of these patients there was a positive result in the plasmin test. Eleven other patients had a positive p
