Nuclear medicine studies and magnetic resonance imaging are used to diagnose and monitor a variety of diseases, including osteomyelitis (bone infections that can affect the entire structure down to the bone marrow), fevers of unknown origin, and infected vascular prosthesis. Infectious Disease Diagnostics are bacterial infections that can occur during operations to replace or bypass damaged or diseased blood vessels with a graft.
Positron emission tomography can reliably diagnose a wide range of infections, including large-vessel vasculitis, abdominal infections such as inflammatory bowel disease, and thoracic and soft-tissue infections.
