Summary

This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), a painful inflammatory condition common in older adults. Current methods often lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment with steroids, which have serious side effects. Researchers will use a new PET/MRI imaging technique in 149 adults over 50 to see if it can more accurately identify PMR and guide safer treatment decisions.
