Imaging judgment of soft tissue and vascular injuries in limbs with high-voltage electric burn and its clinical significance].

The injury mechanism of high-voltage electric burn in limbs is complex and special. The soft tissue and vascular injuries caused by high-voltage electric burn are serious and concealed. It is difficult to judge the severity and extent of injury before surgery, which affects the diagnosis and treatment effects and remains a major problem in burn field. In recent decades, a series of clinical studies have been conducted by scholars at home and abroad, using various imaging methods for the judgment of soft tissue and vascular injuries, which have their own advantages and disadvantages. According to the principle of accuracy, precision, safety, and easy operation, magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography are required at the same time in general for the imaging judgment of soft tissue and vascular injuries in limbs with high-voltage electric burn. The B-mode ultrasonography shall be performed if a precise judgment of vascular injury is needed.
