Potential clinical utility of quantitative 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters in evaluating vascular inflammation in giant cell arteritis
In all cases, TIVV and TIGV provided an earlier and more accurate assessment of vascular inflammation than traditional methods. Therefore, TIVV and TIGV may offer more accurate and standardized measures for evaluating disease activity and guiding treatment in LV-GCA. These metrics could address limitations of current visual and semiquantitative approaches but warrant validation in large studies.
