Assessment of Takayasu arteritis in routine practice with PETVAS, an 18F-FDG PET quantitative scoring tool

CONCLUSION: We observed higher PETVAS in patients with active disease and elevated acute phase reactants. Although scores in our study (performed at one-hour) were lower compared to the original PETVAS study performed at two hours, PETVAS seems to be a reliable tool to quantify FDG PET scores in routine practice.PMID:34590801 | DOI:10.3906/sag-2106-129
