In the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) with aortic involvement, 18F-FDG PET has been
demonstrated to be a powerful tool. No other imaging method is able to directly detect acute …

Purpose Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common form of vasculitis in western countries.
18 F-FDG PET has been shown to be a valuable tool for the diagnosis of extracranial GCA …

Purpose The purpose of our study was to assess the concordance of aortic CT angiography
(CTA) and FDG-PET/CT in the detection of large-vessel involvement at diagnosis in patients …

Aims The usefulness of [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed
tomography ([18F] FDG-PET/CT) for diagnosing giant cell arteritis (GCA) has been …

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common vasculitis affecting medium and large vessels.
It shows a close clinical association with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), a musculoskeletal …

Objective The purpose of our study was to assess the diagnostic performance of 18 F-FDG
PET-CT for large vessel involvement in patients with suspected giant cells arteritis (GCA) …

Purpose To evaluate the in-treatment diagnostic accuracy of FDG PET/CT in large-vessel
giant cell arteritis (LV-GCA) by serial scans before and after a short course of high-dose …

Previous studies reported a 2-to 17-fold higher risk of aortic complications (dilation or
dissection) in patients with giant-cell arteritis (GCA). We aimed to determine whether or not …

Background Positron emission tomography (PET) scan is emerging as a promising imaging
technique to detect large-vessel inflammation in giant cell arteritis (GCA). However, the lack …

Purpose The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review and perform a meta-
analysis on the diagnostic performances of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission …
