A Comparative 68Ga-Citrate and 68Ga-Chloride PET/CT Imaging of Staphylococcus aureus Osteomyelitis in the Rat Tibia
Figure 4
Representative transaxial PET, CT, and combined PET/CT images of 68Ga-citrate and 68Ga-chloride accumulation at the site of induced osteomyelitis and healing bone-defects at 2 weeks after surgery. In each animal, the left tibia (on the right) underwent surgery for induction of infection or the creation of a surgical defect to represent uncomplicated bone healing, with the contralateral intact bone (on the left) serving as the control.
