Overview
Other imaging findings of syphilis include novel PET/CT technology, multimodal ophthalmologic imaging and bone scintigraphy. In PET/CT scan, increased FDG uptake in lymph nodes may be seen. 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.
Other imaging studies
Other imaging findings of syphilis include novel PET/CT technology, multimodal ophthalmologic imaging and bone scintigraphy.
PET/CT (FDG Uptake)
- Increased FDG uptake in lymph nodes may be seen. (generalized lymphadenopathy in secondary syphilis)[1]
Bone Scintigraphy
- Heterogenous uptake of T-99m in bone scintigraphy may be seen [2]
Multimodal Ophthalmologic Imaging
- Multifocal lesions [3][4]
- Retinal precipitates[3]
- Unilateral yellow lesions[3]
- Nodular elevations of the choroid[4]
