Use of (18)F-fluoride PET to determine the appropriate tissue sampling region for improved sensitivity of tissue examinations in cases of suspected periprosthetic infection after total hip arthroplasty

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The accurate diagnosis of periprosthetic infection requires assessment of intraoperative tissues. These must be sampled from the appropriate sites. We used (18)F-fluoride positron emission tomography (PET) to identify sites of inflammation in order to improve the sensitivity...
