Giant cell arteritis with polymyalgia rheumatica on FDG‐PET/CT

If there is no pain in the temporal artery, the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) may be delayed and blindness may occur. Therefore, FDG‐PET/CT is important as a modality for diagnosis of GCA. When GCA is suspected and F‐18 FDG‐PET/CT is performed, it is worthwhile to pay attention to shoulder...

description If there is no pain in the temporal artery, the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) may be delayed and blindness may occur. Therefore, FDG‐PET/CT is important as a modality for diagnosis of GCA. When GCA is suspected and F‐18 FDG‐PET/CT is performed, it is worthwhile to pay attention to shoulder and hip joints as polymyalgia rheumatica commonly presents with GCA.
