Specific features to differentiate Giant cell arteritis aortitis from aortic atheroma using FDG-PET/CT

Abstract Aortic wall 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-uptake does not allow differentiation of aortitis from atheroma, which is problematic in clinical practice for diagnosing large vessel vasculitis giant-cell arteritis (GCA) in elderly patients.
