Active Giant Cell Vasculitis Diagnosis with (68)Ga PSMA PET/CT Imaging

Vasculitis is a multisystem disease characterized by inflammation with infiltration of leukocytes into the blood vessels. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common form of vasculitis that mostly affects medium- and large-sized arteries. (18)Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emissi...

description Vasculitis is a multisystem disease characterized by inflammation with infiltration of leukocytes into the blood vessels. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common form of vasculitis that mostly affects medium- and large-sized arteries. (18)Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly used to diagnose inflammation of large arteries in GCA. Galium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT has a vital role in the assessment of patients with prostate cancer for recurrence and metastasis of the disease. Various benign and non-prostate malignant conditions may give rise to increased PSMA uptake. Herein, we demonstrate that PSMA uptake can be seen in GCA.
