A METHOD FOR THE STUDY OF THE PERIPHERAL CIRCULATION IN MAN.

Abstract

observations of skin color and texture, temperature and sweating activity; or if one wishes more quantitative data, upon measurements of the clearance of radioactive tracers from depot injection sites, venous occlusion plethysmography, indicator dilution techniques or thermal conductivity ( 1 ). The method described in this report is based upon delineation and quantification of the distribution of radioactivity throughout the leg following intraarterial injection of macroag gregates of human serum albumin labeled with 1311( MMA 131J) . Because of their
