PET with FDG-labeled leukocytes versus scintigraphy with 111In-oxine-labeled leukocytes for detection of infection.
PURPOSE To compare prospectively the accuracy of positron emission tomography (PET) with leukocytes labeled in vitro with (18)F fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) versus that of conventional scintigraphy with leukocytes labeled in vitro with (111)In oxine in patients suspected of having infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS This HIPAA-compliant study had institutional review board approval; informed consent...
متن کاملInflammation and infection: imaging properties of 18F-FDG-labeled white blood cells versus 18F-FDG.
UNLABELLED (18)F-FDG and (18)F-FDG-labeled white blood cells ((18)F-FDG-WBCs) are valuable radiopharmaceuticals for imaging focal sites of inflammation and infection. In the present study, the imaging properties of both radiotracers were compared in sterile and septic inflammation models. METHODS Groups of adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (100-120 g) were injected in the left posterior thigh mu...
متن کاملImaging 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 کاملDiagnosis of Graft Infection Using FDG PET-CT
Graft infections after aortic replacement are a rare, but severe complication. Because surgical removal of the infection source is essential, an accurate diagnosis is required to prevent unnecessary treatment. Both of the patients described herein were diagnosed with graft infections using dual-modality positron emission tomography-computed tomography; one patient was a false-positive, and the ...
متن کاملIntense 18F-FDG activity in aortoiliac bypass graft mimicking infection
RATIONALE F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has the potential to become an important imaging tool for the diagnosis of suspected aortoiliac bypass graft infection (AGI). PATIENT CONCERNS A 76-year-old man presented with incidental findings of intense F-FDG activity in previous operation site of aortobiiliac bypass graft in the initial stagi...
