Is 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scanning a reliable way to assess disease activity in takayasu arteritis?
Abstract
Objective 18 F‐fluorodeoxyglucose–positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET) scanning has been proposed as a new way of assessing disease activity in Takayasu arteritis (TA), but previous studies have used the nonvalidated National Institutes of Health (NIH) global activity criteria, and thus might be biased. This study was undertaken to determine the value of PET scanning for assessment of disease activity in TA, by comparing PET scan data with...
