It allows detection of subclinical inflammation, assessment of systemic involvement and quantification of metabolic parameters useful in early diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring. In rheumatoid arthritis, it correlates with clinical indices (<em>Disease Activity Score</em>), serological markers (CRP, anti-citrullinated protein antibodies) and ultrasound findings, and facilitates the identification of complications such as cardiovascular and pulmonary involvement. In spondyloarthritis, its ability to identify enthesitis and peripheral synovitis is promising, although less studied. In addition, [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG PET/TC evaluates the response to biological treatments, helping to optimise therapeutic decisions. However, its implementation faces challenges such as lack of standardised indications, incidental findings and technical artefacts.
