Abstract Assessment of frostbite injury typically relies on computed tomography, angiography, or nuclear medicine studies to detect perfusion deficits prior to thrombolytic therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of a novel imaging method, microangiography, in the assessment of severe frostbite injury. Patients with severe frostbite were included if they received a post-thrombolytic Technetium 99 (Tc99) bone scan, a Tc99 bone scan without thrombolytic therapy, and/or post-thrombolytic microangiography (MA) study. We included all patients from the years 2006 to 2018 with severe frostbite injury who had received appropriate imaging for diagnosis: Tc99 scan alone (N = 82), microangiography alone (N = 22), and both Tc99 and microangiography (N = 26). The majority of patients received thrombolytic therapy (76.2%), and the average time to thrombolytics was 6.9 hours. Tc99 scans showed strong correlation with amputation level (r = .836, P < .001), and microangiography showed a slightly stronger positive correlation with amputation level (r = .870, P < .001). In the subset who received both Tc99 scan and microangiography (N = 26), we observed significant differences in the mean scores of perfusion deficit (z = 3.20, P < .001). In this subset, a moderate correlation was found between level of perfusion deficit on Tc99 bone scan and amputation level (r = .525, P = .006). A very strong positive correlation was found between the microangiography studies and the amputation level (r = .890, P < .001). These results demonstrate that microangiography is a reliable alternative method of assessing severe frostbite injury and predicting amputation level.
