A simplified approach to radionuclide venography: concise communication.

A simplified method has been developed for performing radionuclide venography. The method makes use of the scintillation camera and a synchronized whole-body scanning bed. This technique permits a more integrated presentation of the data and is performed in conjunction with a standard ventilation-perfusion lung study. The total amount of 99mTc tracer injected is 2 mCi.
