Positron Emission Tomography to Improve Assessment of Interstitial Lung Disease in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis Eligible for Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation

Positron Emission Tomography to Improve Assessment of Interstitial Lung Disease in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis Eligible for Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a promising technique to improve the assessment of systemic sclerosis associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). This technique could be of particular value in patients with severe diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc) that are possibly eligible for autologous hema...
