“…By using WB-MRI, extrathoracic organ involvement was detected in 38% of this nonselected patient group and this is in accordance with data obtained by PET/CT [8]. In agreement with previous PET studies [4,8,9], WB-MRI revealed the skeleton to be the most frequent site of extrathoracic involvement. Sarcoid muscular lesions were found in 13% of patients, supporting the assumption that muscular involvement is more frequent than clinically expected [10].…”

“…Lymphadenopathy in sarcoidosis showed a high FDG uptake, which may represent active inflammation caused by sarcoidosis. 7 Of the seven measurable macronodules, six showed high FDG uptake in the present study. However, in most of the patients, the maxSUV of macronodules could not be measured because of their small size.…”

“…Il est produit par le granulome et reflète le degré d'inflammation avec une sensibilité de 34 à 77 % selon les études [2,16]. Ainsi, d'après des précédents résultats, le TEP-scan permettrait de détecter une activité inflammatoire compatible avec une sarcoïdose, même lorsque l'ECA est normale.…”

“…Néanmoins, le taux d'ECA est au-dessus des limites normales dans seulement 60 % des cas, et n'est pas lié à la gravité de la maladie, ni à la progression clinique [2].…”
