Intensity of (18)F-FDG PET Uptake in Culture-Negative and Culture-Positive Cases of Chronic Osteomyelitis

Microbiologic cultures are not infrequently negative in patients with a histopathologic diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis. Culture-negative cases may represent low-grade infections with a lower metabolic activity than culture-positive cases. (18)F-FDG PET could potentially detect such a difference....
