PET-CT findings in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica without symptoms of cranial ischaemia.

CONCLUSIONS: PET-CT is a sensitive imaging technique in PMR patients. Symptoms and PET-CT findings do not correlate in PMR. Steroid treatment prior to PET-CT reduces the scan's ability to demonstrate inflammation in PMR patients. FUNDING: none. TRIAL REGISTRATION: not relevant. PMID: 28975885 [PubMed - in process]
