title: The role of nuclear scanning in the evaluation of arterial injuries.
abstract: Nuclear scanning appears to be a useful test to screen patients with penetrating injuries to the extremities who have proximity as the only finding suggestive of vascular injury. Patients with abnormal scans should be further studied with standard angiography. Interpretation of the scan is dependent on the reader's experience.
