Whole-body and site specific [18F]FDG uptake patterns on PET/CT have limited value in differentiating between polymyalgia rheumatica and other inflammatory diseases: two cohorts of treatment-naïve suspected polymyalgia rheumatica

Whole-body and site specific [18F]FDG uptake patterns on PET/CT have limited value in differentiating between polymyalgia rheumatica and other inflammatory diseases: two cohorts of treatment-naïve suspected polymyalgia rheumatica

Abstract Background It has been hypothesized that 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) computed tomography (CT) can distinguish polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) from non-PMR patients based on the [18F]FDG-uptake patterns. Nevertheless, a comprehensive assessment...
