F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography combined with CT in critically ill patients with suspected infection
Intensive Care Medicine, 10/28/09

Simons KS et al. – FDG–PET/CT scanning is of additional value in the evaluation of suspected infection in critically ill patients in whom conventional diagnostics did not lead to a diagnosis.
