Abstract
The radionuclide first pass flow study, using 99mTc-pertechnetate associated with in vivo labeling of RBC is now widely applied for gated cardiac imaging (Strauss et al. 1979). Recently we had an opportnity to use this technique for the rapid demonstration of thoracic aortic and innominate aneurysms.
