Large vessel vasculitis in elderly patients: early diagnosis and steroid-response evaluation with FDG-PET/CT and contrast-enhanced CT
Abstract
Large vessel vasculitis (LVV) is an often-reported cause of inflammation of unknown origin (IUO) in elderly people. The objective of this study was to describe the usefulness of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) and contrast-enhanced CT in early diagnosis and treatment follow-up of patients with LVV presenting as elderly onset IUO. We retrospectively compared contrast-enhanced CT...
