Description
Summary:To further promote the clinical application of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) in infection and inflammation and standardize the diagnostic process, the experts in relevant fields in China carried out discussion and formed the Expert Consensus on the clinical application of FDG PET/CT in infection and inflammation. This consensus is intended to provide a reference for imaging physicians to select a reasonable diagnostic plan. However, it should be noted that it couldn’t include or solve all the problems in clinical operation. Imaging physicians and technicians should develop a comprehensive and reasonable diagnostic procedure according to their professional knowledge, clinical experience and currently available medical resources when facing specific patients.
