Pet/ct scan for diabetic foot bone infection
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses a special imaging scan (PET/CT) to see if a foot infection has spread to the bone in people with diabetes. The scan may help doctors diagnose bone infection more accurately, potentially avoiding unnecessary treatments.

This trial checks whether a PET-CT scan using a small amount of tracer (FDG) can help doctors better identify invasive fungal infections inside the body. It may be useful for guiding diagnosis when standard information is unclear.
This trial is testing a new way to take a small sample of infected bone from the foot of people with diabetes. It aims to see if a bedside biopsy is safe and accurate for diagnosing bone infection, so you may avoid more invasive procedures.
This trial tests a new PET scan that uses a special marker to see if you have an invasive fungal infection. It may help doctors better diagnose and treat these infections.
This study uses a special whole-body PET/CT scan to help confirm whether a suspicious bone spot or high tumor marker means cancer. It aims to see if this new imaging method can help guide your biopsy and treatment decisions.
This study uses a special imaging technique called FDG-PET to look at infections in implanted heart devices. It aims to see if computer analysis of the images can help doctors diagnose and monitor these infections more accurately.
This trial studies how an FDG PET/CT scan (a special imaging test that looks for active cancer activity) can be used in people with high-risk primary or recurring breast cancer. It may help doctors better identify areas of concern and guide future care.
