Radiolabelled white blood cells are widely used for scintigraphic evaluation of infection. However, this technique is time-consuming and provides rather limited anatomical details. Positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluordeoxyglucose is gaining ground in clinical settings and the added value of combined metabolic and anatomical imaging achieved by combining PET with computed tomography (CT) to PET/CT seems particularly promising. We present the current status for the use of PET/CT in selected infectious diseases based on the limited literature available.
放射性标记的白细胞广泛用于感染的闪烁显像评估。然而,这项技术耗时且提供的解剖细节相当有限。18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描(PET)在临床环境中越来越受欢迎,将PET与计算机断层扫描(CT)相结合以实现PET/CT的代谢和解剖联合成像的附加价值似乎特别有前景。基于现有有限的文献,我们介绍了PET/CT在特定传染病中的应用现状。
