optimal patient outcome. Conventional imaging techniques, such as computed tomography …

We determined the prevalence of abnormal spinal 18F-FDG uptake and assessed the
relationship between the severity of findings on 18F-FDG PET and the severity of …

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 …
