Imaging of Inflammation by PET, Conventional Scintigraphy, and Other Imaging Techniques

Abstract: Nuclear medicine imaging procedures play an important role in the assessment of inflammatory diseases. With the advent of 3-dimensional anatomic imaging, there has been a tendency to replace traditional planar scintigraphy by CT or MRI. Furthermore, scintigraphic techniques may have to be combined with other imaging modalities to achieve high sensitivity and specificity, and some may require time-consuming labeling procedures. On the other hand, new developments such as combined SPECT/CT increase the diagnosti… Show more

“…Therefore, scheduling was problematic in some cases; however, given increasing evidence of the usefulness of PET/CT in patients with infectious diseases, we expect this situation to change. Third, PET/CT is a highly sensitive test for localizing abnormalities, since the results are a measure of inflammatory cell activity (19); therefore, the results could increase the risk of false-positive findings. To minimize this effect, we performed a discrepancy analysis and compared PET/CT results with clinical and microbiologic data and the results of conventional imaging techniques.…”

“…Fluorine-18-l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine ( 18 F-DOPA) PET/CT showed the highest sensitivity (98%) as compared with SRS and 11 C-5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan (11C-5-HTP) PET for the detection of GI-NETs, but not pNETs (Van Essen et al 2014). 11 C-5-HTP is a radiolabelled precursor in the serotonin synthesis: 11 C-5-HTP PET showed the highest sensitivity (96%) for the detection of pNETs as compared with CT, SRS or 18 F-DOPA PET (Gotthardt et al 2010) (Froberg et al 2009). Another radiopeptide used for targeting the GLP1R is (Lys(40)(Ahx-HYNIC-99m Tc/EDDA) NH2)-exendin-4, GLP1R imaging using this compound has been studied in MTCs (Pach et al 2013).…”

“…18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET) could also be used for detecting joint inflammation, infection and degenerative changes, owing to its very good sensitivity (up to 95% for osteomyelitis) [15].…”
