Role of positron emission tomography in the assessment of disease burden and risk of relapse in patients affected by giant cell arteritis

Published: Nov 12, 2019
Abstract
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is characterized by two subsets: cranial GCA and large-vessel GCA (LV-GCA); positron emission tomography (PET) is an essential tool in the diagnosis of LV-GCA. In this study, we aimed to investigate its potential prognostic value in the stratification of relapse risk. We retrospectively revised all the clinical records of patients who received a diagnosis of GCA at an immuno-rheumatology clinic of a University Hospital...
