Guest Editorial on PET of Benign Musculoskeletal Conditions

The musculoskeletal system includes the bones of the skeleton, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments, and bursae. These structures can be affected by many malignant and benign conditions. One of the roles of the imaging physician is to differentiate the former from the latter and to refer equivocal cases for further diagnostic tests (including additional imaging tests and biopsy) or follow-up if clinically indicated. PET with the radiotracer FDG plays an important clinical role in the evaluation of human diseases, particularly in oncology.
