AB - Imaging techniques, such as ultrasound, are well recognized as important tools to aid early diagnosis and assess response to treatment in RA. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) offers a means of imaging the inflammatory processes of RA at a cellular level, thus may be a highly sensitive method of assessing synovitis. In this review, we discuss the advantages of PET as an imaging modality for RA and summarise the existing clinical studies of PET in RA. We also highlight potentially important pre3clinical studies of PET in arthritis, discuss current limitations of PET, and ongoing developments in PET technology, likely to be of benefit for arthritis imaging.
