1. Understand physiologic and pathologic mechanisms of musculoskeletal FDG accumulation on F-18 FDG PET/CT. 2. Recognize imaging features that distinguish metabolically active articular and periarticular processes from malignancy on PET/CT. 3. Highlight key concepts by reviewing case examples and correlation with anatomic imaging.  

  I. Mechanisms of articular/periarticular FDG uptake   II. Etiologies         a. Inflammatory              i. Synovitis              ii. Inflammatory arthritis              iii. Bursitis         b. Degenerative              i. Tendinopathy              ii. Osteoarthritis         c. Traumatic              i. Fractures              ii. Osteochondral lesions              iii. Tendon and ligament tears         d. Infectious              i. Periprosthetic infection              ii. Osteomyelitis              iii. Septic arthritis         e.
