The aim of this mini-review was to summarize the role of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose ([F]FDG) in inflammatory and infective processes, based on the published scientific evidence.
We analysed clinical indications, patient preparation, image acquisition protocols, image interpretation, pitfalls and how to make the report of cardio-vascular diseases, musculoskeletal diseases and other inflammatory and infective systemic diseases.Results of this analysis are shown in practical tables, easy to understand for daily routine consultation.
Despite [F]FDG is currently used in several inflammatory and infective diseases, standardized interpretation criteria are still needed in most cases. It is, therefore, foreseen the execution of multicentre clinical studies that, by adopting the same acquisition and interpretation criteria, may contribute to the standardization of this imaging modality.
本综述的目的是基于已发表的科学证据,总结氟代脱氧葡萄糖([F]FDG)正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)在炎症和感染性疾病中的作用。
我们分析了临床适应症、患者准备、图像采集方案、图像解读、陷阱以及如何撰写心血管疾病、肌肉骨骼疾病和其他炎症及感染性全身性疾病的报告。分析结果以实用表格形式呈现,便于日常临床参考。
尽管[F]FDG目前已用于多种炎症和感染性疾病,但在大多数情况下仍需要标准化的解读标准。因此,预计将开展多中心临床研究,通过采用相同的采集和解读标准,可能有助于使这种成像方式标准化。
