Letter from the Editors —May 2018 Issue

Prior to these two issues, we last visited Nuclear Medicine's role in infection and inflammation 9 years ago. In 2009, the two major diagnostic agents available were Gallium-67 Citrate and Indium-111-labeled leukocytes (WBC).

Labeled white cells are used for most studies except for the spine and lungs where gallium has proven superior.
