    Author: Joubert J, Pilloy WJ, van Reenen OR, Zölner JC, Strydom WJ, Politzer W.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1990 Mar 03; 77(5):246-8. PubMed ID: 2315801.
    Abstract:
    Human blood platelets labelled with indium-111 oxine have been shown to accumulate on damaged vascular surfaces and abnormal platelet deposition has been demonstrated in the carotid arteries of white stroke patients. Gamma scintigraphy of the carotid and cerebral arteries of 5 black stroke patients and 5 age- and sex-matched controls using 111In-labelled platelets showed no abnormal accumulation indicative of carotid artery disease.
