The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using 18F-FDG and PET for the
detection of infection associated with lower limb arthroplasty. Methods: Seventy-four …

Purpose This study aims to assess and compare the value of FDG PET with combined 111
In-labeled leukocyte/99m Tc-sulfur colloid bone marrow (WBC/BM) imaging for diagnosing …

Purpose The demand for arthroplasty is rapidly growing as a result of the ageing of the
population. Although complications such as heterotrophic ossification, fracture and …

Ten per cent of patients with hip replacement will eventually complain of significant pain
after surgery, often requiring a revision arthroplasty. The majority of these patients …

Pain is a common unspecific symptom in orthopaedic prosthetics. The accurate
differentiation between synovitis, loosening or infection is often difficult with conventional X …

The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of fluorodeoxyglucose positron
emission tomography (FDG PET) in diagnosing infection in a large population of patients …

The role of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) in the diagnostic
localization of infectious diseases has expanded rapidly in years. In general, sensitivity of …

We compared the accuracy of fluorine-18 labelled 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron
emission tomography (18 FDG PET) with that of technetium-99m hexamethylpropylene …

Graft infection following prosthetic vascular reconstruction is an uncommon but severe
complication. The clinical presentation is often subtle and nonspecific and may occur long …

Purpose The aim of this study was to systematically review and metaanalyze published data
on the diagnostic performance of 18 F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography …
