Role of splenic and bone marrow uptake at 18F‐FDG PET/CT for the assessment of large vessels vasculitis and the influence of glucocorticoids therapy on their values
Abstract:IntroductionTo assess the relationship between splenic and bone marrow (BM) uptake with the presence of large vessel vasculitis (LVV) at 18F‐FDG PET/CT and to evaluate the influence of glucocorticoid (GC) therapy on these uptakes.MethodsOne hundred and one subjects with LVV and 18F‐FDG PET/CT were included in the study. Clinical features, including blood samples and duration of GC therapy, were collected. Standardized uptake value body weight max (SUVmax) of the spleen, BM, liver and arterial walls were extrac… Show more
