Imaging Infection and Inflammation with F-18 FDG-PET
N uclear medicine plays an important role in the evaluation of inflammation and infection. Radionuclide imaging is complementary to CT in the postoperative patient and is used to help differentiate postoperative changes from infection. In the case of painful joint replacement, radionuclide studies are the primary diagnostic imaging modality for differentiating infection from other causes of pro...
متن کاملPET/CT imaging of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
Tuberculosis has a high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has a complex pathophysiology; it is an aerobic bacillus capable of surviving in anaerobic conditions in a latent state for a very long time before reactivation to active disease. In the latent tuberculosis infection, the individual has no clinical evidence of active disease, but exhibits a hypersensitiv...
متن کاملAdvances in imaging of tuberculosis: the role of ¹⁸F-FDG PET and PET/CT.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the main applications, advantages and limitations of ¹⁸F-FDG PET and PET/computed tomography (CT), and some other tracers in imaging of tuberculosis (TB). RECENT FINDINGS In pulmonary TB, granulomas typically demonstrate increased ¹⁸F-FDG uptake, and areas of active TB can be differentiated from old or inactive disease by dual time point imaging. However, standardi...
متن کاملFDG PET imaging
Background: An intriguing biologic process in most adult mammals is post-pneumonectomy lung regeneration, that is, the removal of one lung (pneumonectomy) results in the rapid compensatory growth of the remaining lung. The spatial dependence and metabolic activity of the rodent lung during compensatory lung regeneration is largely unknown. Methods: To determine if murine lung regeneration could...
متن کاملImaging infection and inflammation in children with (18)F-FDG PET and (18)F-FDG PET/CT.
The goal of this article is to delineate indications for (18)F-FDG PET/CT pertaining to inflammation in the pediatric population, with emphasis on those that have been described in the literature. The limitations of (18)F-FDG PET/CT in this type of evaluation are also described, and the importance of using as low a dose as feasible is discussed. After reading this article, the reader should be ...
