Predicting Vascularized Bone Graft Viability Using 1-Week Postoperative Bone SPECT/CT After Maxillofacial Reconstructive Surgery

ConclusionsThe absence of tracer uptake by the vascularized bone graft on bone SPECT/CT at 1 week after maxillary or mandibular reconstructive surgery can predict graft failure. Bone SPECT/CT can be used to predict vascularized bone graft viability postoperatively.
