Figure 2

65-year-old female patient with 18F FDG PET-CT findings indicating the clinical association of polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell arteritis. Coronal PET (a) and PET-CT (b) images demonstrate a significant tracer uptake of the walls of the ascending aorta, aortic arch (void arrows in (a) and (b)), and subclavian arteries (arrowheads in (a) and (b)). The second pair of coronal PET (c) and PET-CT (d) images demonstrate the inflammatory involvement of the abdominal aorta (arrowheads in (c) and (d)). A bilateral uptake of the tracer of the glenohumeral joints is also seen (solid arrows).
