125I-Fibrinogen Leg Scanning: Reassessment of Its Role for the Diagnosis of Venous Thrombosis in Post-Operative Patients
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the reasons why 125I-fibrinogen leg scanning, a screening test which was reported to be very sensitive for the detection of post-operative thrombosis, has shown poor sensitivity in contemporary studies.
STUDY IDENTIFICATION: English-language reports were identified through a Medline computer search (1965-1991), Current Contents, and an extensive manual search of the bibliographies in identified articles.
