Abstract:
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was the evaluation of quantitative and qualitative parameters for the diagnosis of aortic graft infection (AGI) using [18F]-FDG PET/CT. METHODS: PET/CT was performed in 50 patients with clinically suspected AGI. 12 oncological patients with aortic repair but without suspicion of AGI were included in the analysis to serve as control cohort.
