Figure 2. — Extremity positron emission tomography (PET)/CT of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis; the coronal section showing a volar view of the right wrist from the (a) CT and (b) PET/CT overlay. Arrows show sites of bone erosion and corresponding fluorine-18 fludeoxyglucose (¹⁸F-FDG) uptake (blue and light blue arrows) [maximum standardized uptake value (SUV_max) = 2.2], ¹⁸F-FDG uptake in the pisiform–triquetral compartment (green arrows) (SUV_max = 1.89) and ¹⁸F-FDG uptake at the first carpometacarpal joint (white arrows) (SUV_max = 5.50). The linear range of the PET colour scale shown is 18–45% of the SUV_max. For colour image see online.
