Imaging 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 ...
