First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study tested a new imaging technique using a radioactive tracer called 11C-Trimethoprim to see how it spreads in the body and if it can help find bacterial infections. About 16 adults with suspected infections received PET/CT scans over a few hours. The goal was to measure how the tracer behaves in infected versus healthy tissues, potentially leading to better infection diagnosis.
