Early identification of soft tissue injury is a major problem in the patient with frostbite injury. A patient is presented with a method for early (less than 2 days) identification of nonviable tissue. This is a noninvasive method employing technetium 99m stannous pyrophosphate which was used to accurately predict the level of ultimate amputation.
