Prospective of ⁶⁸Ga Radionuclide Contribution to the Development of Imaging Agents for Infection and Inflammation

Figure 7

Vertebral osteomyelitis (spondylodiscitis; red arrowheads) and abscesses in the iliopsoas and paravertebral area (red arrows) were detected by [⁶⁸Ga]Ga-citrate in a patient admitted to the hospital with back pain and general symptoms. The PET acquisition was performed 88 min after administration of 245 MBq of [⁶⁸Ga]Ga-citrate. Adapted from [80].
