Whitehead groups of exchange rings with primitive factors artinian

We show that if R is an exchange ring with primitive factors artinian then K1(R)≅U(R)/V(R), where U(R) is the group of units of R and V(R) is the subgroup generated by {(1+ab)(1+ba)−1|a,b∈R   with   1+ab∈U(R)}. As a corollary, K1(R) is the abelianized group of units of R if 1/2∈R....
