The purpose of this study is to evaluate the value of positron emission tomography/computed tomography in various inflammatory conditions caused by bacterial infection or vasculitis. Glucose analog FDG is sensitive to detect inflammation foci but we hypothesize that other imaging agents such as PK11195 and Ga-citrate may have added value in certain applications.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the value of PET/CT in various inflammatory conditions caused by bacterial infection or vasculitis. Our aim is to:
