The Biodistribution and Utility of < sup > 99m < /sup > Tc-Ethylenedicysteine-Deoxyglucose ( < sup > 99m < /sup > Tc-Glucosamine) in the Identification of Active Disease in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis-a Single Center Prospective Study

CONCLUSION: 99mTc-ECDG can efficiently assess disease activity in the joints of patients with RA. It accumulates in sites of both clinical and subclinical disease and might be a very useful tool for the rheumatologist in the management of patients with RA.PMID:38510821 | PMC:PMC10948692 | DOI:10.1007/s13139-023-00823-4
