TI-201 scintigraphy in muscle trauma.
Muscle uptake of Tl-201 thallous chloride in the larger or more major groups, particularly the legs, chest, and upper limb areas, is not uncommonly observed in healthy persons. However, as illustrated in three patients, such uptake, when localized or asymmetric, may provide evidence of unrecognized traumatized muscle, resulting from more chronic or subacute muscle overuse than the acute muscle insult that produces the marked uptake of Tc-99m phosphates associated with frank rhabdomyolysis.
