โœฆ Synopsis

A method of measuring the function of the calf muscle pump using in vivo 99Tcm-labelled red cells is described. This new, non-invasive method can provide detailed information about the emptying and refilling of the deep and superficial veins of the calf which may prove to be superior to those methods of assessment currently used in the selection and follow-up of patients for venous surgery.

## Abstract A method of hyperaemic calf scanning using a bolus injection of 99Tcm pertechnetate into an arm vein is described and evaluated in 26 patients with intermittent claudication. From the calf image displayed on a visual display unit after 2.5 minutes' scanning with a gamma camera, an asse
