Abstract
OBJECTIVES To establish whether 18FFluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission computerised tomography (FDG-PET/CT) might reveal active disease in patients with myositis. METHODS We studied 12 patients with active myositis (2 polymyositis, 10 dermatomyositis). The controls consisted of 14 randomly chosen subjects without muscle disease. FDG uptake was expressed as the ratio of maximum proximal muscle to liver standardised uptake value. Magnetic...
