In this Arthritis At Home, we are sharing the #CRArthritis interview with Dr. Alison Clifford, an Associate Professor in the Department of Rheumatology at the University of Alberta. She discusses about the 18F-Flurodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and giant cell arteritis, the most common form of vasculitis in North America. A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that can help reveal the metabolic or biochemical function of your tissues and organs.
