From: 68Ga-DOTA-Siglec-9 PET/CT imaging of peri-implant tissue responses and staphylococcal infections

Figure 4

Representative sagittal and coronal PET/CT images. Representative sagittal and coronal PET/CT images with 68Ga-DOTA-Siglec-9 peptide of the rats with (a) catheter-related S. epidermidis infection of the right tibia, (b) catheter-related S. aureus infection of the right tibia, or (c) catheter implantation in the right tibia without bacterial inoculation. High focal uptake of radioactivity in the infected right tibia is observed (red arrows) compared with the contralateral intact left tibia (white arrows). Excess of radioactivity is excreted through the kidneys (two headed black arrow) to the urinary bladder (black arrow).
