Abstract

The need for increased research into fungal disease has recently been highlighted in literature. Positron emission tomography emission tomography integrated with morphological imaging has been used in the evaluation of invasive fungal infections in clinical and preclinical settings. The evidence for the usefulness of FDG PET/CT in the clinic has been slowly increasing; however, some questions remain unanswered. There has been a push towards finding a fungal-specific tracer to help in manging fungal disease. At the preclinical level several PET tracers have demonstrated different potential as candidates for in vivo and in vitro assessment of fungal burden. In this paper we explore what the current situation is in utilization of positron emission tomography in the evaluation of invasive fungal infection.
