title: Radionuclide evaluation of peripheral vascular injuries.
abstract: Radionuclide techniques have become an important modality for the detection and evaluation of peripheral vascular trauma. The presence of significant vascular injury can be diagnosed using essentially noninvasive procedures. A normal radionuclide angiogram reliably indicates the absence of injury to the major peripheral arterial vessels. An abnormal study suggests that further diagnostic maneuvers may be indicated.
