We report a unique case of early-phase Takayasu arteritis in which the vessels demonstrated accumulation of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) on PET scanning. This observation suggests the possible use of FDG-PET for the diagnosis of vasculitis. Early diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis may permit early treatment and possibly could prevent progression to the occlusive or pulseless phase of this disease.
我们报告了一例罕见的早期高安动脉炎病例，该病例的血管在正电子发射断层扫描（PET）中显示出[18F]氟脱氧葡萄糖（FDG）的积聚。这一观察结果提示FDG-PET可能用于血管炎的诊断。高安动脉炎的早期诊断可实现早期治疗，并有可能预防该病发展至闭塞期或无脉期。
