18F-FDG PET/CT illustrating infection of the metatarsophalangeal joint. Increased 18F-FDG uptake in the first metatarsophalangeal joint is seen in the bone and soft tissues. Signal uptake in this region is much greater than that of the surrounding healthy tissue, indicating pathologically increased glucose metabolism.
