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.
