Abstract:
Rheumatoid diseases (RD) are a group of diseases affecting bones,joints,and the surrounding soft tissues,such as muscle,synovial membrane,tendons,fascia,nervus.The etiology and pathogenesis are complicated.Since most RD are systemic diseases,traditional imaging techniques have limited value for the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of RD.18F-FDG PET/CT can display morphologic and metabolic information simultaneously,and is considered as a potential tool for the diagnosis of RD.This review summarizes the application of 18F-FDG PET/CT in RD,such as systemic vasculitis,relapsing polychondritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
