The Utility of ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT for Diagnosis and Adjustment of Therapy in Patients with Active Chronic Sarcoidosis

Abstract

Our results indicate that (18)F-FDG PET/CT is a useful adjunct to other diagnostic methods for detecting active inflammatory sites in chronic sarcoidosis patients with persistent symptoms, especially those with normal ACE levels. (18)F-FDG PET/CT proved advantageous for determining the spread of active disease throughout the body and influenced the decision to adjust the therapy.
