Objectives To investigate the proportion and distribution of contrast enhancement (CE) of
musculoskeletal structures with MRI of the thorax/abdomen/pelvis in giant cell arteritis …

Objective There is currently no diagnostic test for PMR. A characteristic pattern of
extracapsular inflammation as assessed by contrast-enhanced MRI (ceMRI) has recently …

Objective To evaluate the relevance of 18 F-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission
tomography/computed tomography (18 F-FDG PET-CT) for discriminating polymyalgia …

Objective Recent studies suggest that the knee is frequently involved in PMR. In this study,
we aimed to determine whether the US assessment of the shoulder and knee discriminates …
