Question: Question: Does 18F-FDG-PET/CT better localize active spinal infection than MRI for successful minimally invasive surgery?
Answer: FDG-PET/CT demonstrated limited areas of abnormality allowing accurate delineation, and is thus useful to narrow the surgical fields. Since overall diagnostic accuracy of FDG-PET/CT was superior to that of MRI, FDG-PET/CT is a useful technique to narrow the surgical field for successful less invasive surgery.

Answer: yes
