| Popis | PMR presents by articular/periarticular synovitis, extraarticular synovitis and can be accompanied by giant cell arteritis. All types of involvement have their distinct FDG PET (PET/CT) finding, which can be seen either individually or in any of their 4 combinations. FDG PET (PET/CT) examination seems to be an advantageous one-step examination for detecting different variants of PMR, for assessing extent and severity and also for excluding occult malignancy. |
