Abstract:
18F-FDG PET or PET/CT plays an important role in the differential diagnosis of rheumatic disease.By imaging evaluation of glucose metabolism,18F-FDG PET or PET/CT can identify disease activity and distribution.It can also evaluate treatment response of rheumatic disease based on the change of glucose metabolism between baseline and follow-up studies.This article reviews the clinical application of 18F-FDG PET or PET/CT in rheumatoid arthritis (RA),seronegative spondylarthropathy (SpA),large vessel vasculitis (LVV),polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and adult onset Still's disease (AOSD).
