18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and the risk of subsequent aortic complications in giant-cell arteritis
Previous studies reported a 2- to 17-fold higher risk of aortic complications (dilation or dissection) in patients with giant-cell arteritis (GCA). We aimed to determine whether or not GCA patients with large-vessel involvement demonstrated by positron emission tomography with F-fluorodeoxyglucose combined with computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) have a higher risk of aortic complications. We cond...
متن کاملGiant cell arteritis exclusively detected by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography: a case report
INTRODUCTION This case of giant cell arteritis is noteworthy because it evaded standard diagnostic criteria and only emerged as fever of unknown origin. In this regard, we present 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography as a valid diagnostic method. CASE PRESENTATION This case report describes a 58-year-old Caucasian woman who is a cigarette smoker with a 10-week history of fever ...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography and computed tomography angiography for the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis
The use of 18F-fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography scan (FDG-PET) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) to improve accuracy of diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a very important clinical need. We aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of FDG-PET and CTA in patients with GCA.FDG-PET and CTA were acquired in all consecutive patients suspected for GCA. Results of FDG...
متن کاملF-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography
Objective—Adiponectin and resistin are adipokines that are linked to obesity, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography is a promising imaging technique that can be used to evaluate vascular inflammation. Methods and Results—We measured adiponectin and resistin levels, as well as traditional cardiovascular risk factors, in 60 obese subjects and 6...
متن کاملFDG positron emission tomography of giant cell arteritis with polymyalgia rheumatica.
To cite: Shikino K, Ikusaka M, Shimada F. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014206887 DESCRIPTION An 80-year-old woman presented with low-grade fever, weight loss and shoulder ache persistent over 6 months. She had developed headache with scalp allodynia, though these had improved spontaneously within 2 months. Physical examination revealed an absen...
