Prediction of muscle viability after electrical burn necrosis
In this preliminary study, Tc-99m MIBI, a muscle perfusion agent, was used to assess the viability of tissues in two patients with extensive high-tension electrical burns.

Summary: | In this preliminary study, Tc-99m MIBI, a muscle perfusion agent, was used to assess the viability of tissues in two patients with extensive high-tension electrical burns. This proved to be an easy and definitive diagnostic procedure and a practical solution to determining the level of amputation before surgery. |
