Summary

Thirtyeight patients with suspected thrombosis in the legs were investigated scintigraphically using 99mTc-tripolyphosphate. The ratio between the activity in the leg with suspected thrombosis and the other leg was calculated. The results were compared with those obtained with phlebography. A pathologically high activity ratio was found in all but one of the 18 patients in whom phlebography showed a thrombus. The ratio was normal in 13 of the 20 patients with normal Phlebographic findings. The possible use of the method described as a postoperative screening test is discussed.

38 Patienten mit vermutlicher Beinthrombose wurden mit 99mTc-Tripolyphosphat szintigrafisch untersucht. Das Verhältnis zwischen der Aktivitätsanreicherung in dem thromboseverdächtigen Bein und dem anderen Bein wurde berechnet. Diese Ergebnisse wurden mit denen durch Phlebografie erhaltenen verglichen. Eine pathologische hohe Aktivitätsquote fand man bei 17 von 18 Patienten, die auch phlebografisch eine Thrombose zeigten. Normal war das Verhältnis in 13 von 20 Fällen, bei denen auch der Phlebografiebefund normal war. Die Möglichkeit, diese Methode als postoperativen Screeningtest anzuwenden, wurde diskutiert.
