Official Title: Preliminary Study. The Value of 18F-FDG PET/CT Compared to MRI in Diagnosing Residual Disease in Patients With Spondylodiscitis

Brief Summary:

MRI has shoved little correlation with the clinical finding during treatment of spondylodiscitis (infection in the vertebrae and/or discs). Since PET/CT is almost as good as MRI in diagnosing spondylodiscitis the hypothesis and this study is that PET/CT is better in predicting residual disease in patients with spondylodiscitis.

Preliminary study.
