Abstract

The authors describe a patient with psoriatic arthritis in whom an increased level of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) uptake was seen in the joints of the hands. The areas of increased activity correlated well with the regions of symptoms reported by the patient. This case illustrates the potential use of F-18 FDG positron emission tomography to quantitatively assess the degree of arthritis activity.

摘要

作者描述了一名银屑病关节炎患者，其手部关节中可见F-18氟脱氧葡萄糖（F-18 FDG）摄取水平升高。活性增加的区域与患者报告的症状区域密切相关。该病例说明了F-18 FDG正电子发射断层扫描在定量评估关节炎活动程度方面的潜在用途。
