  • Title: Utilization of bone scan and single photon emission computed tomography on amputation planning in acute microvascular injury: Two cases.
    Author: Huchital M, Au A, Lucido JV.
    Journal: Foot (Edinb); 2019 Sep; 40():109-115. PubMed ID: 31675679.
    Abstract:
    The use of single photon emission computer tomography (SPECT/CT) in acute vascular injury is not well documented. SPECT/CT combines the anatomic detail of computer tomography with the functional vascular perfusion of photon emission to determine the viability of osseous structures and surrounding soft tissue. The superimposed imaging provides the practitioner with a reliable anatomic image of viability of a specific anatomic area following insult or injury. We present two cases, bilateral lower extremity frostbite, and symmetric peripheral gangrene in which this imaging modality provided guidance for surgical intervention with adequate predictability and results.
