Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is a refractory complication after heart surgery, and debridement is the first-line treatment. The accurate identification of the extent of the infection is the key to successful debridement. The present study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of fluorine-18 deoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (PET/CT) for identifying the infected area of DSWI.
