Methodology Development for Investigating Pathophysiological [¹⁸F]-FDG Muscle Uptake in Patients with Rheumatic Musculoskeletal Diseases.

Comparison of Quantitative Uptake in the RMD Groups and Controls All muscle groups (i.e., deltoids, biceps brachii, triceps brachii, psoas, quadriceps, and hamstrings) showed the same trend of [ 18 F]-FDG uptake among the RMDs when compared to the controls: the three RMD patient groups showed a trend of increased [ 18 F]-FDG uptake ( Figure 4 , Supplementary Figure S1 , and Supplementary Table S2 ).
