title: The selection of an amputation level with radioactive microspheres.
abstract: The results of studies in progress will provide data concerning radioactivity per unit area over various sites on the extremity to determine the relative perfusions between amputation sites.These quantitative data, when combined with the qualitative interpretation and correlated retrospectively with the clinical course of the amputee, should enhance the ability to predict the healing potential.
