Course Summary:

This webinar will present the recently updated joint SNMMI and EANM guidelines on FDG studies in clinical scenarios related to imaging of infectious and inflammatory processes (I&). Protocols and interpretation criteria related to the use of FDG imaging for assessment of I&I as well as potential “red flags” will be detailed. Additional updates will focus on the application of FDG imaging to specific clinical scenario. Recent literature providing a comprehensive overview of the test’s performance indices will be reviewed.

Course Objectives:

• Present the recently developed new version #2 of the general guidelines on FDG imaging in infection and inflammation.
• Compare differences and additions in current publication vs. previous version of these guidelines published in 2013.
• Describe specific protocols requirements when performing FDG imaging studies in these clinical indications.
• Present updated performance indices for FDG imaging in infection and inflammation using recently available evidence-based literature data.
