¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT Associates With Disease Activity and Clinical Recurrence of AOSD Patients.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the value of ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT in monitoring the disease activity and predicting the prognosis of the Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the electronic medical records of 45 AOSD patients who underwent ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT in the Second Xiangya Hospital. PET/CT imaging and clinical information were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. ¹⁸F-FDG uptake was assessed by measuring standard uptake value (SUV) in the spleen, liver, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. The spleen-to-liver ratio of the SUVmax (SLRmax) and SUVmean (SLRmean), the bone-to-liver ratio of the SUVmax (BLRmax), and SUVmean (BLRmean), and the lymph nodes-to-liver ratio of the SUVmax (LyLRmax) were calcu
