A method of assessing hand and digital vessel perfusion is described. It involves an intravenous injection of Tc99m pertechnetate with monitoring of the isotope uptake in the hands and fingers by a gamma camera equipped with a small computer. The technique allows visual evaluation of the arterial supply and a means of quantifying digital perfusion. An evaluation of the technique in normal hands, in patients with digital vessel disease from vibration trauma, Raynaud's and embolism from an ulnar artery aneurysm is described. The potential of the technique in quantifying response to treatment is illustrated by sequential isotope hand scans in a patient treated for obliterative disease of the fingers.
本文描述了一种评估手部和手指血管灌注的方法。该方法包括静脉注射高锝[99mTc]酸盐，并通过配备小型计算机的γ相机监测手部和手指对同位素的摄取情况。该技术能够对手部动脉供血进行可视化评估，并提供一种量化手指灌注的方法。文中介绍了该技术在正常手部、因振动损伤、雷诺氏病以及尺动脉动脉瘤栓塞导致手指血管疾病的患者中的评估情况。通过对一名手指闭塞性疾病患者进行系列同位素手部扫描，展示了该技术在量化治疗反应方面的潜力。
