Schematic illustration of the operated tibia. (a) The bone was sliced into five sections for further characterization: (1) histological analysis (decalcified sections); (2) histological analysis (non-decalcified sections); (3) microbiological analysis; (4) ex vivo radioactivity measurement; (5) fluorescent microscopy of biofilm formation. (b) Quantification of the in vivo PET/CT data using two regions of interest (ROI).
