FDG-PET in Infection Imaging of Immuno-compromised Patients.

Key takeaways

This review looks at how a special scan called FDG-PET helps find infections. It focuses on people with weak immune systems, including those on dialysis. The scan can find infections faster than standard X-rays. This is a review of existing data, so there are no new trial results.
