Systemic vasculitides are autoimmune diseases characterized by inflammation of blood vessels. They are categorized based on the size of the preferentially affected blood vessels: large-, medium-, and small-vessel vasculitides. The main forms of large-vessel vasculitis include giant cell arteritis (GCA) and Takayasu arteritis (TAK). Depending on the location of the affected vessels, various imaging modalities can be employed for diagnosis of large vessel vasculitis: ultrasonography (US), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), computed tomography angiography (CTA), and [18 F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT)...

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Myocardial fibrosis plays an important role in adverse outcomes such as heart failure and arrhythmias. As the pathological response and degree of scarring, and therefore clinical presentation varies from patient to patient, early detection of fibrosis is crucial for identifying the appropriate treatment approach and forecasting the progression of a disease along with the likelihood of disease-related mortality. Current imaging modalities provides information about either decreased function or extracellular signs of fibrosis...

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) today is a well-established treatment strategy for patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET). First performed already more than 30 years ago, PRRT was incorporated only in recent years into the major oncology guidelines, based on its proven efficacy and safety in clinical trials. Following the phase 3 NETTER-1 trial, which led to the final registration of the radiopharmaceutical Luthatera® for G1/G2 NET patients in 2017, the long-term results of the phase 3 NETTER-2 trial may pave the way for a new treatment option also for advanced G2/G3 patients as first-line therapy...

Soft tissue sarcomas are a rare and heterogenous group of tumors that account for 2% of all cancer-related deaths. Molecular imaging with FDG PET can offer valuable metabolic information to help inform clinical management of soft tissue sarcomas that is unique and complementary to conventional diagnostic imaging techniques. FDG PET imaging often correlates with tumor grade, can help guide biopsy, and frequently detects additional sites of disease compared to conventional imaging in patients being considered for definitive or salvage therapy...
