Cipriano PW, et al. - Researchers presented the feasibility of an ¹⁸F-FDG PET/MRI approach for improved diagnosis of chronic sciatica. For the purpose of this investigation, ¹⁸F-FDG PET/MRI was performed on 9 chronic sciatica patients and 5 healthy volunteers (healthy controls). Using SUVmax, the region-of-interest analysis was performed, and 18F-FDG uptake in lesions was compared with that in the corresponding areas in healthy controls. The findings demonstrated the feasibility of ¹⁸F-FDG PET/MRI for diagnosing pain generators in chronic sciatica, exhibiting various possible etiologies.
