Whole-body PET/CT reveals systemic dissemination in spinal tuberculosis: findings from the Spinal TB X cohort

Abstract

Whole-body PET/CT revealed a high frequency of disseminated disease, underscoring the systemic nature of TB even when clinical presentation is spinal. Isolated STB may represent a distinct phenotype. PET/CT shows promise for assessing disease burden and warrants further evaluation.
