An in-depth comparison of vascular inflammation on ultrasound, FDG-PET/CT and MRI in patients with suspected giant cell arteritis
The temporal artery can be assessed by CDUS and MRI with good sensitivity and high specificity, and the axillary artery by CDUS and FDG-PET/CT with high agreement between the two modalities. In addition, the vertebral and maxillary artery can be assessed by FDG-PET/CT with good sensitivity and specificity, however the vertebral artery had moderate interobserver agreement.
