The purpose of the study is to make the standardization of arterial and venous thrombosis models in the rabbits and to obtain their images by Ga-67-fibrinogen-DAS-DFO, new bifunctional chelating agent preserving the high biological activity of fibrinogen. Arterial thrombus was induced by perivascular application of silver nitrate solution on the isolated femoral artery in rabbits, and venous thrombus by that of formalin on the femoral vein. Ga-67-fibrinogen-DAS-DFO or In-111 oxine platelet was injected 2 hours after thrombus formation, to get the images of fresh thrombus; Ga-67-fibrinogen-DAS-DFO was injected 1 day or 2 days after thrombus formation to get the images of old thrombus. Scinti-images of GA-67-fibrinogen-DAS-DFO showed the excessive accumulation in fresh arterial and venous thrombi, 6 hours after injection; the ratio of the radioactivity of arterial thrombus to blood was 6.92 +- 0.27 and that of venous thrombus to blood was 6.89 +- 0.61. They showed the increased accumulation in 1 day(old arterial and venous thrombi, too, but no significant accumulation in 2 day-old arterial and venous thrombi. Scinti-images of In-111 oxine platelet showed the excessive accumulation in fresh arterial and venous thrombi, 24 hours after injection. Ga-67-fibrinogen-DAS-DFO could detect arterial and venous-fresh and 1 day-old thrombus, 6 hours after injection, and obtain earlier images of thrombus than In-111 oxine platelet. Thrombus formation was recognized in all experiments.
