F18-MHF: Orthopedic Implants-Associated Infection Detection

Following intravenous injection of 10 ± 2 mCi (370 ± 74 MBq) \[F-18\]MHF as a bolus, dynamic PET imaging of the lower limbs will be acquired for approximately 90 minutes. The acquired images will be processed. The uptake pattern of \[F-18\]MHF around infected orthopedic knee implant will be determined and compared with its uptake pattern around non-infected knee implants.
