Clinical Trial Summary

Following intravenous injection of [F-18]MHF as a bolus, dynamic PET imaging of the lower limbs will be acquired for approximately 90 minutes. The acquired images will be processed and viewed on a MIMVista or similar workstation. The uptake pattern of [F-18]MHF around infected orthopedic knee implant will be determined and compared with its uptake pattern around non-infected knee implants. This study will look at how [18F]MHF goes into normal knee replacements and those with suspected infection.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a study that will test a compound (chemical substance) that has a small amount of radioactivity attached to it. This substance has a natural tendency to go to bacterial infections. The substance is called [18F]MHF and it is given in the form of an injection into a vein. After the substance reaches the infected body region, scans called PET or Positron Emission Tomography, are done. This is similar to having CAT scans or x-rays. Usually a compound called [18]FDG is used for PET scans to detect bacterial infections but this substance can't distinguish between bacterial infections and inflammation. This substance called [18F]MHF does not go to inflamed tissue and may allow bacterial infections to be seen better. This study will look at how [18F]MHF goes into normal knee replacements and those with suspected infection. This will hopefully lead to the development of better imaging techniques to look at bacterial infections. [18F]MHF is approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for research. ;
