Predictive value of 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy for healing of extremity amputation
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging, 02/08/2007
Sarikaya, Ali, et al. - The purpose of this study was to determine whether 99mTc-sestamibi imaging can accurately predict the healing of amputation sites...Since healing of the stump was seen in all cases, outcome was correctly predicted by scintigraphy. This preliminary study supports the use of 99mTc-sestamibi scan in selecting the optimal amputation level consistent with subsequent stump healing
