Large vessel vasculitis (LVV) is defined as a disease mainly affecting the large arteries, with
two major variants, Takayasu arteritis (TA) and giant cell arteritis (GCA). GCA often coexists …

Objective Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is often the presenting manifestation of giant cell
arteritis (GCA). Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed …

We aimed to clarify the role of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-
PET) in the management of large-vessel vasculitis (LVV), focusing on 3 issues which are as …

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of hybrid [18 F]
fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/MRI in patients with large …

PURPOSE: to investigate the role of FDG-PET and PET/CT in the evaluation of vasculitis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: a systematic revision of the papers published in …

Purpose The object of this study was to assess whether 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT
