Comparison of magnetic resonance angiography and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in large-vessel vasculitis
Annals of Rheumatic Diseases Apr 21, 2018
Quinn KA, et al. - Authors evaluated the agreement between the interpretation of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) for disease extent and disease activity in large-vessel vasculitis (LVV). They also determined relationships between imaging and clinical assessments. Unique and complementary information was contributed by MRA and PET in the assessment of LVV. Disease extent was seen to be better captured by MRA. PET scan was better suited to evaluate vascular activity. Researchers noted that there was often no correlation between clinical and imaging-based assessments over the disease course in LVV.
