Expert opinions in nuclear medicine: Finding the “holy grail” in infection imaging

Nuclear medicine imaging techniques are now widely accepted and increasingly used for diagnosing and treatment monitoring of infectious and inflammatory diseases. The latter has been exemplified by numerous recent clinical guidelines in which PET imaging is now part of the diagnostic flowcharts. In...

description Nuclear medicine imaging techniques are now widely accepted and increasingly used for diagnosing and treatment monitoring of infectious and inflammatory diseases. The latter has been exemplified by numerous recent clinical guidelines in which PET imaging is now part of the diagnostic flowcharts. In this perspective paper we discuss the current available guidelines, the current limitations, and we provide the future aims of research to achieve the holy grail in nuclear medicine: the differentiation between infection, inflammation and malignancy.
