S Vaidyanathan, CN Patel, AF Scarsbrook… - Clinical radiology, 2015 - Elsevier
Integrated positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with the glucose
analogue, 2-[18 F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG), is an evolving hybrid imaging technique
in the evaluation of an important and diverse group of pathological conditions, which are
characterised by infection and aseptic inflammation. With a rapidly expanding body of
evidence, it is being increasingly recognised that, in addition to its established role in
oncological imaging, FDG PET/CT also has clinical utility in suspected infection and …
