Abstract:
An atraumatic method for measuring digital capillary blood flow with(133)xenon is described here. It has the advantage of not requiring the handling of xenon in the gaseous phase, and is a comfortable procedure for the patient. A study of rheumatoid patients without overt vaculitis, and controls showed similar values, suggesting that despite digital deformities, the digital blood flow of the usual rheumatoid is adequate.
