FDG-PET/CT performances to detect systemic sarcoidosis in patients from a general hospital in Europe
Conclusions: Our retrospective study shows that FDG PET/CT examination is a reliable method to detect systemic sarcoidosis (high sensibility, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy). However further evaluation of cost effectiveness of this examination, and a more comprehensive understanding on which patients would benefit from this intervention are warranted.
