Diagnostic efficacy and necessity of 18F-FDG PET/CT in fever of unknown origin: insights from a retrospective cohort study
The high diagnostic efficacy of 18F-FDG PET/CT in FUO suggests its potential as a routine imaging modality, which could enhance patient management and reduce the need for costly and unnecessary invasive procedures. The identification of clinical factors that are predictive of true-positive diagnosis could facilitate more effective allocation of PET/CT imaging.
