Adapted from Figure 6 (A 68Ga-citrate PET/CT scan of a patient affected by acute osteomyelitis of the left distal tibia. The scan demonstrates an area of increased tracer uptake (red area), corresponding to an area of decreased bone density on the CT images, which is consistent with acute inflammation) by Roivainen et al.16 with kind permission from Springer Science and Business Media.
