(SAB). Early diagnosis of metastatic infection is crucial, because specific treatment is …

Introduction Bacteremia is associated with high mortality, especially when the site of
infection is unknown. While conventional imaging usually focus on specific body parts, FDG …

18F-FDG PET/CT plays a significant role in the assessment of various infectious processes.
Patients with suspected or known sites of infection are often referred for 18F-FDG imaging …

Timely identification of metastatic complications of bloodstream infections due to spreading
