Platelets labeled with oxine complexes of Tc-99m and In-III. Part 2. Localization of experimentally induced vascular lesions

Journal Article · · J. Nucl. Med.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6549001

Using rabbit platelets harvested and labeled with either Tc-99m or In-III oxine as described in Part 1, we have successfully imaged experimentally induced fresh venous thrombi and newly injured arterial intima. Visualization of lesions up to 6 hr old is striking. Thrombi and arterial damage 24 hr old, however, were usually not imaged successfully; nor were preformed platelet-poor arterial emboli. The varying rates of platelet deposition in vascular lesions of different ages and types account for these observations. Should human cells prove as effective, widespread clinical application is anticipated.
