No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In the proposed study, our aim is to evaluate the uptake of 68Gallium-citrate in patients with failed joint prosthesis and compare it with that of conventional 18fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan. We will perform PET/CT scan with 68Gallium citrate and 18F-FDG in subjects with failed hip or knee prosthesis. Both 68Gallium-citrate and 18F-FDG scans, done within 24-48 hours from each other, will be performed within 4 weeks before surgical evaluation/revision of the hardware.

Conditions

  • Joint Prosthesis

Interventions

DRUG

68-Gallium citrate PET/CT scan

After establishment of an intravenous access, approximately 5 mCi of 68Ga-citrate (Zevacor Molecular, Somerset, NJ, USA) will be administered intravenously. Whole body PET/CT scan will be performed after 60 minutes of uptake phase.

DRUG

18F FDG PET/CT scan

Subjects will undergo FDG PET/CT scan using the same imaging parameters either on the same day or within the next 24-48 hours. The subjects will be requested to fast for a minimum of 4 h prior to PET acquisition. After confirmation of a blood glucose level ≤200 mg/dl, technologists will establish the intravenous access and the subject will receive approximately 10 mCi of 18F-FDG (Zevacor Molecular, Somerset, NJ, USA) intravenously. The subject will be placed in uptake room for 60 minutes to allow for optimal localization of the compound. The subjects will be requested to void prior to administration of 18FDG and again prior to image acquisition.
