[18F]FDG PET-MR characterization of aortitis in the IL1rn −/− mouse model of giant-cell arteritis
Abstract Background Metabolic imaging is routinely used to demonstrate aortitis in patients with giant-cell arteritis. We aimed to investigate the preclinical model of aortitis in BALB/c IL1rn −/− mice using [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography–magnetic resonance (PET-MR),...
