Summary
This study looked at whether a new type of PET/CT scan (digital) can better diagnose giant cell arteritis, a condition where arteries become inflamed and can lead to blindness. 92 adults with suspected giant cell arteritis had both a digital PET/CT scan and an ultrasound. The goal was to see if the digital PET/CT could be a single, reliable test to diagnose the disease quickly and accurately.
