| Research Abstract |
We have studied FDG-PET/CT finding of inflammatory diseases of joint and spine. Normal aging effects on the FDG uptake by joints were found to be as minimum as not interfering the diagnosis of disease joints. Polymyalgia rheumatic (PMR) has showed increased FDG uptake in ischial tuberosities, greater trochanters, and lumbar spinous processes characteristically. For the differential diagnosis of seronegative spondyloarthritis (SpA) from PMR, FDG uptake by sacroiliac joints was important.
