Diagnosing polymyalgia rheumatica on 18 F-FDG PET/CT: typical uptake patterns
2018
Objective
The diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is often challenging, since similar clinical features and laboratory findings can be observed in several inflammatory conditions. PMR involves affected sites in a specific manner, and 18F-FDG PET/CT has the advantage for assessing the disease activity of each site. The purpose of this study was to identify the patterns of 18F-FDG uptake that suggest the diagnosis of PMR.
