Radionuclide evaluation of peripheral vascular injuries.
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.
