Clinical Trial: F18-MHF: Orthopedic Implants-Associated Infection Detection
Study Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Recruit Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Condition: Knee Disease
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: Phase II Investigation of [F-18]MHF as a PET Tracer to Detect Orthopedic Implants-associated Infection
Brief Summary:
Following intravenous injection of [F-18]MHF as a bolus, dynamic PET imaging of the lower limbs will be acquired for approximately 90 minutes.The acquired images will be processed and viewed on a MIMVista or similar workstation.The uptake pattern of [F-18]MHF around infected orthopedic knee implant will be determined and compared with its uptake pattern around non-infected knee implants.This study will look at how [18F]MHF goes into normal knee replacements and those with suspected infection.
