Total-body positron emission tomography: a tool for systemic, quantitative evaluation of the inflammatory burden of psoriatic arthritis
TB-PET/CT identified inflammatory pathologies characteristic to all clinical domains of PsA and thus provided an in vivo evaluation of systemic PsA inflammatory burden. This promising tool may further contribute to identifying pathologies that may be occult, provide biomarkers to diagnose and differentiate PsA at an early stage, and to monitor early treatment response.
