ABSTRACT
We report a case of a 76-year-old woman with elevated serum C-reactive protein levels for two weeks after spinal surgery. â¹â¹mTc-labeled white blood cell scan and dual ¹â¸F-sodium-fluoride (¹â¸F-NaF) bone positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) were used to detect the site of inflammation. Using non-attenuation corrected images, soft tissue inflammation was detected without metal artifact. Antibiotic treatment attenuated inflammation as seen in an early-phase scan using follow-up ¹â¸F-NaF bone PET/CT. This case demonstrates the role of ¹â¸F-NaF bone PET/CT in the detection of inflammation sites, and can be used to evaluate treatment response in patients with metallic implants.
