Summary
This study tested whether a new digital PET/CT scan can accurately diagnose giant cell arteritis, a condition where arteries become inflamed and can cause blindness if not treated quickly. 92 adults with suspected giant cell arteritis received both a digital PET/CT scan and an ultrasound. The goal was to see if the digital PET/CT could replace multiple tests and become a single, reliable way to diagnose this disease.
