AB  - Combined direct injection venography (DIV) and equilibrium angiography (EA) were 
      performed in 13 patients, by injecting in vitro labeled 99mTc autologous RBC, via 
      pedal veins, and imaging the first pass and the equilibrium phase. This paired 
      comparative study of DIV with EA shows that DIV has advantages over EA because it 
      provides selective information on the deep venous system from the calves to the 
      inferior vena cava. DIV provides information on the flow dynamics and the high 
      contrast first pass images provide better definition of non filling venous 
      segments as well as visualization of collaterals. When using 99mTc-MAA, lung 
      perfusion can also be imaged. DIV is recommended as the procedure of choice for 
      the diagnosis of DVT and EA should be employed only when pedal vein injection is 
      not possible.
