Abstract
Purpose
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease that affects skin and nails but may also involve further sites of clinical or subclinical inflammation, including the joints. The aim of this review is to explore the role of PET imaging in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, especially in the assessment of joint and systemic inflammation and vascular inflammation, such as aortitis.
Methods
We conducted an unstructured search of the literature for any studies employing the f [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FDG PET/CT) in the assessment of inflammation in patients with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis.
Results
The role of [18F]-FDG PET/CT has been explored, with special focus on potential novel biomarkers, assessment of disease severity, and the imaging monitoring and validation of novel therapeutic strategies, including also future perspectives concerning further PET tracers, such as [18F]fluoride PET imaging.
Conclusions
The possibility of the evaluation of inflammation in different sites can be used to evaluate both systemic, articular and periarticular inflammation, giving the possibility of a comprehensive assessment of the patients. The emerging clinical needs for novel biomarkers in the psoriasis field can be potentially supported by novel biomarkers on FDG PET imaging in several research settings but further multicentric trials are needed for the implementation in the clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Imaging is an international journal that publishes timely, up-to-date summaries on clinical practice and translational research and clinical applications of approved and experimental radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Coverage includes such topics as advanced preclinical evidence in the fields of physics, dosimetry, radiation biology and radiopharmacy with relevance to applications in human subjects. The journal benefits a readership of nuclear medicine practitioners and allied professionals involved in molecular imaging and therapy.
