The growing field of immunometabolism has taught us how metabolic cellular reactions and
processes not only provide a means to generate ATP and biosynthetic precursors, but are …

Aim The diagnosis, severity and extent of a sterile inflammation or a septic infection could be
challenging since there is not one single test able to achieve an accurate diagnosis. The …

Simultaneous positron emission tomography and MRI (PET/MRI) is a technology that
combines the anatomic and quantitative strengths of MR imaging with physiologic …

Muscle damage elicits a sterile immune response that facilitates complete regeneration.
Here, we used mass spectrometry–based lipidomics to map the mediator lipidome during …

Early diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE) is based on the yielding of blood cultures and
echocardiographic findings. However, they have limitations and sometimes the diagnosis is …

Purpose Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) can be difficult to diagnose. Whole-body [18F] FDG-
PET/CT allows for a comprehensive evaluation of all relevant articular and extra-articular …

Objective Besides cardiac sarcoidosis, FDG-PET is rarely used in the diagnosis of
myocardial inflammation, while cardiac MRI (CMR) is the actual imaging reference for the …

Purpose. To date, several meta‐analyses have reported data about the diagnostic
performance of 18F‐FDG PET/CT in infectious and inflammatory diseases. This article aims …

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease characterized by the formation of noncaseating
granulomas. Lung and intrathoracic lymph nodes are classic sites of involvement; however …

For decades, conventional nuclear medicine techniques have been utilized for the
assessment of many infectious and inflammatory diseases. Most of these techniques have …
