Abstract
Background Muscle enzymes are the major noninvasive diagnostic parameters useful in polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM). Few studies have yet correlated findings on 18 F-FDG PET with disease activity in patients with PM/DM. Purpose We evaluated 18 F-FDG muscle uptake in patients with PM/DM compared with non-muscular diseases and correlated the results with serum muscle enzymes. Methods A total of 28 patients with untreated PM/DM and 28 control...
