Abstract
The value of radionuclide platelet survival studies to delineate the mechanisms of thrombocytopenia and factors contributing to it has been proven (1), and the effect of various diseases and therapies on platelet survival may be evaluated by the same technique. The recent introduction of 111In-oxine as a cellular label allowing in vivo imaging of platelet distribution, has renewed interest in platelet kinetic studies (2,3).
