Abstract
The use of fluorodeoxyglucose–positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging to detect vascular inflammation is increasingly common in the clinical management of patients with large-vessel vasculitis (LVV). In this review, the role of FDG-PET imaging to diagnose and monitor vascular disease activity will be detailed. Suggestions on incorporation of FDG-PET imaging into a clinical workflow will be provided with emphasis on patient preparation, image acquisition, and image interpretation. If FDG-PET imaging is obtained, multimodal imaging assessment, whereby FDG-PET imaging and non-invasive angiography are obtained concurrently, and correlation of imaging findings with clinical assessment is generally advisable. Considering the clinical scenario and treatment status of the patient is important when interpreting vascular FDG-PET image findings.
期刊介绍：
Evidence-based updates of best clinical practice across the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions.
Best Practice & Research: Clinical Rheumatology keeps the clinician or trainee informed of the latest developments and current recommended practice in the rapidly advancing fields of musculoskeletal conditions and science.
The series provides a continuous update of current clinical practice. It is a topical serial publication that covers the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions in a 4-year cycle. Each topic-based issue contains around 200 pages of practical, evidence-based review articles, which integrate the results from the latest original research with current clinical practice and thinking to provide a continuous update.
Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach that focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known. The review articles seek to address the clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Management is described in practical terms so that it can be applied to the individual patient. The serial is aimed at the physician in both practice and training.
