Abstract
Diabetic foot infections are a common complication of diabetes, associated with significant risks of amputation, recurrence and high treatment costs. Imaging plays an increasingly important role in determining medical and surgical planning. Advanced imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and hybrid molecular imaging such as single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography (SPECT/CT) and positron emission tomography with CT (PET/CT), play an important role in the diagnosis of osteomyelitis and in treatment planning.
This review explores the state-of-the-art and future trends for clinical and imaging practices in diabetic foot infections.
Diabetic foot infections are a common complication of diabetes, associated with significant risks of amputation, recurrence and high treatment costs. Imaging plays an increasingly important role in determining medical and surgical planning. Advanced imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and hybrid molecular imaging such as single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography (SPECT/CT) and positron emission tomography with CT (PET/CT), play an important role in the diagnosis of osteomyelitis and in treatment planning.
This review explores the state-of-the-art and future trends for clinical and imaging practices in diabetic foot infections.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Nuclear Medicine is the leading review journal in nuclear medicine. Each issue brings you expert reviews and commentary on a single topic as selected by the Editors. The journal contains extensive coverage of the field of nuclear medicine, including PET, SPECT, and other molecular imaging studies, and related imaging studies. Full-color illustrations are used throughout to highlight important findings. Seminars is included in PubMed/Medline, Thomson/ISI, and other major scientific indexes.
