Description
This study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical usefulness of 99mTc labelled red blood cell imaging in the detection of limbs viability after electrical injury. 8 patients were studied. There are two steps in the imaging process: artery perfusion and blood pool imaging. In the case of severe injury, in which muscles were necrotic and vessels are obstructed, no radioactivities appeared in those areas. The imaging results were proved by plastic surgery. This study shows that 99mTc-RBC blood pool imaging is a reliable method for the detection of limbs' viability after electrical injury
