Patients with clinical suspicion of large‐vessel vasculitis (LVV) may present with nonspecific
signs and symptoms and increased inflammatory parameters and may remain without …

Large vessel vasculitis can be visualized by 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET).
However, the diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET is yet to be determined. We therefore …

Objective: Large-vessel vasculitis (LVV) is a serious illness with potentially life-threatening
consequences.(18Fluorine) fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed …

Abstract Purpose of Review This review aims to discuss the use of fluorodeoxyglucose
(FDG) positron emission tomography (PET/CT) for diagnosis and management of patients …

Abstract 18F-FDG PET/CT occupies a growing role in the diagnosis of large vessel vasculitis
(LVV), illustrating enhanced uptake in the lining of large vessels. A retrospective single …

Introduction. 18F‐FDG‐PET visualises inflammation. Both atherosclerosis and giant cell
arteritis cause vascular inflammation, but distinguishing the two may be difficult. The goal of …

Purpose Monitoring disease activity in patients with large vessel vasculitis (LVV) can be
challenging.[18F] FDG-PET/CT is increasingly used to evaluate treatment response in LVV …

Objective. Large-vessel vasculitis (LVV) are chronic inflammatory diseases that affect
arteries. While a mere clinical-serological approach does not seem sensitive either in the …

The purpose of this study was to identify clinical and laboratory parameters that may improve
the effectiveness of the use of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18 F-FDG …

Abstract Objective 18 F-FDG PET/CT has proved to be of potential value for early diagnosis
of large-vessel vasculitis (LVV), which frequently involves the aorta. However, its role in the …
