Hopkins tests 'Infection Spotlight' scan
NCT ID NCT05611892
Summary
This study tested a new imaging tracer called 18F-FDS to see if it could help doctors better pinpoint serious bacterial and fungal infections using PET scans. Researchers enrolled 16 patients who had confirmed infections, inflammatory diseases, or cancer to see where the tracer accumulated in the body. The goal was to determine if this method could improve the accuracy of locating hidden infections compared to standard scans.
