Repetitive 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in isolated polymyalgia rheumatica: a prospective study in 35 patients.
OBJECTIVE To study fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) deposition in different vascular beds and in the large joints of patients with isolated polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), and to investigate whether there is a relation between FDG-positron emission tomography (PET) results and risk of relapse. METHODS All consecutive patients with isolated PMR underwent a FDG-PET scan before treatment with steroids was...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014206887 DESCRIPTION An 80-year-old woman presented with low-grade fever, weight loss and shoulder ache persistent over 6 months. She had developed headache with scalp allodynia, though these had improved spontaneously within 2 months. Physical examination revealed an absen...
متن کاملDifferentiation between Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) and Elderly-Onset Rheumatoid Arthritis Using 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography: Is Enthesitis a New Pathological Lesion in PMR?
BACKGROUND It is difficult to differentiate polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) from elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) in clinical practice. We compared FDG-PET/CT findings between patients with PMR and those with EORA and extracted factors useful for differentiating the two disorders. METHODS We compared abnormal FDG accumulation sites and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) between ...
متن کامل18F-Sodium Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography
Coronary atherosclerosis is a progressive disease that involves vascular inflammation, development of cholesterol burdened atheroma, mechanisms of injury and repair, and subsequent calcification (1). Coronary artery calcification (CAC) detected with cardiac computed tomography has been shown to correlate well with overall plaque burden and is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events (2...
متن کاملAortic Valve 18F-Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the most common valvular disease in the developed world. The disease prevalence is projected to reach 4.5 billion worldwide in 2030, underscoring its significance as a worldwide public health burden. Valve replacement is the only established therapy, but despite recent advances, both surgical and transcatheter approaches still have substantial morbidity a...
