The researches find that the Diagnosis of large vessel vasculitis (LVV) and evaluation of its inflammatory activity can be challenging. Our aim was to investigate the value of hybrid positron-emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) in LVV. Therefore All consecutive patients with LVV from the Department of Internal Medicine who underwent PET/MRI were included. But Three…
