Study Summary
The main objective of the proposed research study is to determine the efficacy of \[18-F\] Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in differentiating infections from other complications such as loosening in patients with painful joint prosthesis. We intend to validate and establish the necessary criteria for making such a diagnosis and determine the accuracy of the technique through comparison with other existing modalities such as white blood imaging and patient outcome. We expect that at the completion of the proposed research, the role of this novel and powerful imaging modality will be clearly defined in the management of patients with this challenging and serious complication.
