Abstract
Large vessel vasculitides (LVV) such as giant cell arteritis, Takayasu arteritis and aortitis/periaortitis are characterised by immune-mediated inflammation of medium to large arteries. Clinical disease manifestations can be non-specific and diagnostic imaging plays an important role in the diagnostic pathway. In recent years, FDG PET/CT has proven to be a powerful metabolic tool that can provide a wholed body, non-invasive assessment of vascular inflammation. This review outlines the clinical features of large vessel vasculitis and the closely related entity of polymyalgia rheumatica, summarises the evidence for FDG PET/CT in the assessment of these conditions, and provides guidance for patient preparation, image acquisition and interpretation.
