Purpose The accurate diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is essential to prevent its complications and to initiate appropriate treatment. Doppler ultrasound (DUS), contrast venography, and intravenous radionuclide venography have been used for many years to detect DVT. However, obtaining venous access in the foot for injection of contrast agent can be difficult. Methods The authors introduce the technique of subcutaneous radionuclide venography using Tc-99m in vivo tagged red blood cells…

Clinical Application of Technetium-99m-Labeled Red Blood Cells SubcutaneousRadionuclide Venography and Abdominal/Pelvic Hybrid SPECT/CT Imaging inPatients with Suspicion of Proximal Deep Vein Thrombosis
TLDR
If disturbed or asymmetrical iliac venous flow and abnormal collateral venous drainage in the abdomen are noted on the Tc-99mlabeled red blood cells subcutaneous radionuclide venography, SPECT/CT imaging may arrange for further information and differential diagnosis of lower extremities swelling; not only in detecting deep vein thrombosis.
The Value of Half-Body Technetium-99m-Labeled Red Blood Cells Subcutaneous Radionuclide Venography in Differential Diagnosis of Lower Extremities Edema
TLDR
Tc-RBCs SC-RNV is a useful and non-invasive procedure which assists clinicians in differential diagnosis of lower extremities edema, not only in detecting DVT.
Incidental Finding of Urinary Bladder Retention on the 99mTc-Labeled Red Blood Cells Subcutaneous Radionuclide Venography.
TLDR
After approximately 4000 mL of urine was drained, symptoms were dramatically relieved, and improvement of hyponatremia was also observed.
Hematoma in the Lower Limb: An Incidental Finding in 99m Tc-Labeled Red Blood Cell Venography
TLDR
A case of a 54 year-old woman who had left lower limb swelling and received 99m Tc-labeled red blood cell venography under the impression of deep vein thrombosis, who was diagnosed with hematomas.
Preparation and biological evaluation of 99mTc‐stannous fluoride colloid‐labelled‐leucocytes in rats 99mTc‐stannous fluoride‐labelled‐leucocytes in rats
TLDR
The level of opsonization of radiocolloid is rate limiting rather than the phagocytic capacity of liver and spleen macrophages, and there is a low level of 99m Tc-SnF 2 -labelled-leucocytes dominated by unopsonized radiOColloid in the ex vivo whole blood dose.

Radionuclide venography of lower limbs by subcutaneous injection: Comparison with venography by intravenous injection
TLDR
It is proved that subcutaneous injection of a small dose of Tc-99m pertechnetate at acupuncture points may offer an alternative method of radionuclide venography (RNV) of the lower limbs and suggested that it can take the place of IV-RNV in routine work.
Scintigraphic imaging of lower-extremity acute venous thrombosis.
TLDR
99mTc-Apcitide may be used as an alternative to contrast venography and a complement to ultrasonography in the detection of acute venous thrombosis in the lower extremities.
Scintigraphic imaging of lower-extremity acute venous thrombosis.
TLDR
99mTc-Apcitide may be used as an alternative to contrast venography and a complement to ultrasonography in the detection of acute venous thrombosis in the lower extremities.

TLDR
A CT protocol is developed that cxaniines the subdiaphragrnatic deep vein system at the tinle of CTPA without additional contrast mediuiii or separate venipuncture.

TLDR
MR imaging is significantly more sensitive and accurate than sonography in the detection of lower extremity DVT, but there was no difference in the specificity of MR imaging and that of sonography.

Observer variation in the interpretation of lower limb venograms.
TLDR
Level of agreement were higher than those reported for many other clinical and radiologic investigations, probably because of refinement of criteria after the pilot study, Nonetheless, observers disagreed about the probable presence or absence of thrombus in about 10% of examinations.
