Tc-99m red blood cell venography is a simple and sensitive technique for the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis of the lower limb. The static high count blood pool images of the deep venous system of the leg are readily interpretable and show good correlation with contrast venography. The advantages and limitations of this technique in the clinical setting are discussed in detail in this review.
