Overview
Other imaging findings of syphilis include novel PET/CT technology which portrays 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG) uptake enhanced regions superimposed on cross sectional CT images.[1]
Other imaging studies
Direct Subtraction Angiography (DSA)
PET/CT (FDG Uptake)
Bone
Pulmonary
Other
- Increased FDG uptake in lymph nodes (generalized lymphadenopathy in secondary syphilis)[2]
Bone Scintigraphy
- Heterogenous uptake of T-99m uptake[3]
