Abstract

We sought to evaluate the potential role of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) for the detection and diagnosis of potential infections of vascular grafts using combining metabolic (i.e., radioactive fluorine-fluoro-D-deoxyglucose (18F-FDG)) PET with morphological (CT) information and investigate long-term capability.
