Certainly, our perception of the world we live in has changed since COVID-19 irrupted in our lives in March 2020. Many of our certainties in the European continent were shaked by the unequivocal evidence of our vulnerability as individuals and our lack of preparedness as a society to manage a health emergency of unknown boundaries, despite having one of the most well-developed health systems across the globe. Much has been said about COVID-19, but never as I can remember, so much has been said about workers, and occupational safety and health, for once, hit the headlines.

Purpose: Sternal wound infections (SWI) are complications of sternotomy and can be divided into deep SWI (DSWI) and superficial SWI (SSWI). In recent years, the use of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing infections and inflammation has expanded significantly, with a growing number of clinical indications. This study assesses FDG-PET/CT diagnostic role in DSWI detection, the evolution of FDG uptake intensity in patients without DSWI and the potential biomarkers for DSWIs prediction.
