PET using (18)F-FDG is a promising imaging modality for bone infections, based on intensive consumption of glucose by mononuclear cells and granulocytes. The method may have limitations in distinguishing uncomplicated bone healing from osteomyelitis. Bone healing involves an inflammatory phase that represents a highly activated state of cell metabolism and glucose consumption, mimicking infection on PET images. This laboratory study of a standardized model was designed to compare the (18)F-FDG PET characteristics of normal bone healing with those of local osteomyelitis.
