AIM: Identification of typical patterns for fluorodeoxy-glucose (FDG) uptake in positron emission tomography (PET) to detect aseptic loosening of hip prosthesis (ace-tabular and/or femoral component) and prosthetic infection. METHODS: 18 patients with painful hip prosthesis underwent PET using a dedicated full ring scanner after application of 200300 MBq FDG...
