Abstract | Purpose of review: The aim of this article was to review the recent contributions on the role of PET in assessing disease activity in patients with large-vessel vasculitis (giant cell arteritis and Takayasu arteritis). Recent findings: 18 FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) vascular uptake in large-vessel vasculitis at PET shows moderate correlation with clinical indices, laboratory markers and signs of arterial involvement at morphological imaging. Limited data may suggest that 18 FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) vascular uptake could predict relapses and (in Takayasu arteritis) the development of new angiographic vascular lesions. PET appears to be in general sensitive to change after treatment. Summary: While the role of PET in diagnosis large-vessel vasculitis is established, its role in evaluating disease activity is less clear-cut. PET may be used as an ancillary technique, but a comprehensive assessment, including clinical, laboratory and morphological imaging is still required to monitor patients with large-vessel vasculitis over time. |
