Diagnosis of Vascular Prosthesis Infection: PET or SPECT?
The well-established gold standard for imaging infection is scintigraphy with radiolabeled autologous white blood cells (WBCs). Indeed, 2 years ago, in a metaanalysis of all papers published in the previous 20 years on imaging techniques for the diagnosis of infection (1–4), the importance of WBC scanning in this field clearly emerged, with few exceptions. In particular, for the diagnosis of va...

متن کاملClinical significance of additional lateral imaging in diagnosis of prosthesis infection by combined Tc-99m labeled leukocyte/bone marrow scintigraphy
Introduction: Recently the most accurate diagnostic method in the diagnosis of prosthesis infection is the combination of Tc-99m labeled leukocyte/bone marrow imaging. However the diagnostic efficiency of the test is influenced because of its low spatial resolution. Recently SPECT/CT imaging is implicated in this test with efficient additional diagnostic improvement. In the dep...
متن کاملPET vs. SPECT: in the context of ongoing developments
This paper intends to compare the abilities of the two major imaging modalities in nuclear medicine imaging: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). The motivations are many-fold: (i) To gain a better understanding of the strengths and limitations of the two imaging modalities in the context of recent and ongoing developments in hardware ...
