Application of 68Ga-citrate PET/CT for differentiating periprosthetic joint infection from aseptic loosening after joint replacement surgery

Application of 68Ga-citrate PET/CT for differentiating periprosthetic joint infection from aseptic loosening after joint replacement surgery

Aims: We aimed to evaluate the utility of 68Ga-citrate positron emission tomography (PET)/CT in the differentiation of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and aseptic loosening (AL), and compare it with 99mTc-methylene bisphosphonates (99mTc-MDP) bone scan. Methods: We studied 39 patients with susp...
