Abstract:
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a well-known imaging modality in assessing the treatment response to chemotherapy or radiotherapy in various malignancies. A systematic review of the literature reveals a few publications reporting evaluation of the treatment response in benign conditions using PET/computed tomography. PET holds a promising future role in the follow-up of inflammatory or infectious diseases. In this article, [(18)F]Fluorodeoxyglucose PET as a tool in the evaluation, treatment, and follow-up of infectious and inflammatory diseases is discussed.
