We annually evaluated (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) scans for three consecutive years in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. The inflammatory activity of the rheumatoid synovium was visualized in coronal and transverse sections by FDG-PET/CT. The extent and area of the synovial inflammation was relatively well delineated, and this technique was more informative in detecting inflammation than were conventional X-rays.
我们连续三年对一名类风湿关节炎患者进行了每年一次的(18)F - 氟脱氧葡萄糖 - 正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(FDG - PET/CT)检查。通过FDG - PET/CT在冠状面和横断面上观察到了类风湿滑膜的炎症活动。滑膜炎症的范围和面积得到了相对较好的描绘,并且该技术在检测炎症方面比传统X射线提供了更多信息。
