Treatment with biologic therapy for psoriasis is associated with reduction in aortic vascular inflammation.
The images show a sagittal section of the level of the mid aorta at baseline (A) and at 1 year after treatment with biologic therapy for psoriasis (B). 18-FDG uptake in the aorta is higher at baseline compared to 1 year after treatment (yellow arrowheads). The mean TBR at baseline was 1.91 [0.29] vs 1.79 [0.22] at 1 year follow up (p<0.001).
