NaF-PET/CT for assessment of temporomandibular joint osseous activity in rheumatoid arthritis patients and healthy subjects

Conclusions: NaF-PET/CT scan appears to be a valuable imaging approach in evaluating the metabolic activity in osseous structures of the TMJ in RA patients. The degree of NaF uptake in the TMJ correlated with biochemical parameters of disease severity based on DAS28-CPR and DAS28-ESR scores. <!--EndFragment-->
