Overview
Other imaging findings of syphilis include novel PET/CT technology, multimodal ophthalmologic imaging, bone scintigraphy, and angiography. PET/CT is a novel imaging study which portrays 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake enhanced regions superimposed on cross sectional CT images. Multimodal ophthalmologic imaging combines ophthalmoscopy with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to produce high definition imaging of the posterior chamber of the eye. Bone scintigraphy allows clinicians to visualize bone uptake of Technetium-99 (T-99m) using x-ray technology. These imaging findings allow clinicians to detect syphilitic manifestations involving the bone, retina, heart, lungs, and lymph nodes.[1][2][2][3][4][5][6]
Other imaging studies
Other imaging findings of syphilis include novel PET/CT technology, multimodal ophthalmologic imaging, bone scintigraphy, and angiography. These imaging findings allow clinicians to detect syphilitic manifestations involving the bone, retina, heart, lungs, and lymph nodes.
PET/CT (FDG Uptake)
- Bone
- Increased 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake and osseous destruction[1]
- Pulmonary
- Increased FDG uptake in multiple pulmonary nodules (mimicking pulmonary metastasis)[2]
- Other
- Increased FDG uptake in lymph nodes (generalized lymphadenopathy in secondary syphilis)[3]
Bone Scintigraphy
- Heterogenous uptake of T-99m uptake [4]
Multimodal Ophthalmologic Imaging
- Multifocal lesions [5][6]
- Retinal precipitates[5]
- Unilateral yellow lesions[5]
- Nodular elevations of the choroid[6]
