Evaluation of FDG-PET/CT Use in Children with Suspected Infection or Inflammation.

[F]-FDG-PET/CT ([F]-fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)) is increasingly used as a diagnostic tool in suspected infectious or inflammatory conditions. Studies on the value of FDG-PET/CT in children are scarce. This study assesses the role of FDG-PET/CT in suspected infection or inflammation in children.
