The Value of PET/CT in Diagnosing Residual Disease in Patients With Spinal Infection

NCT01542853 · Status: SUSPENDED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Last updated 2013-02-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

MRI has shoved little correlation with the clinical finding during treatment of spondylodiscitis (infection in the vertebrae and/or discs). Since PET/CT is almost as good as MRI in diagnosing spondylodiscitis the hypothesis and this study is that PET/CT is better in predicting residual disease in patients with spondylodiscitis.
