Recently, several reports have highlighted the potential role of 18 F-FG PET for the assessment of various aortic diseases based on FG accumulation. In this article, we divided various aortic diseases into the following three groups on the basis of the mechanism of FG accumulation: atherosclerosis, aortitis or periaortitis, and thrombus. Elucidating the mechanisms and patterns of FG uptake in various aortic diseases provides valuable information for clinical management. ONLUSION. PET findings can provide additional information for the diagnosis of aortic diseases and valuable information for clinical management. It is essential to understand the characteristics of FG uptake in various aortic diseases for proper appreciation of PET findings. F G PET has been established as an effective technique for detecting various types of cancer and is rapidly becoming the standard technique of care for many cancers. FG PET is also being applied with increasing frequency to the evaluation of aortic diseases. However, various accumulation patterns have been shown for FG PET of aortic diseases. thorough knowledge of the mechanisms and patterns of 18 F-FG uptake in aortic diseases is essential for accurate image interpretation. The purpose of this article is to describe the characterization of aortic diseases using FG PET to provide valuable information for clinical management. therosclerosis Mechanism of FG ccumulation In atherosclerotic vessels, oxidized lowdensity lipoproteins destroy endothelial cells, and endothelial cell dysfunction causes migration of monocytes and T lymphocytes into the intima. Then, monocytes are transformed into intimal macrophages, which are activated by T lymphocytes, and FG accumulates in such activated macrophages. ortic neurysm ortic aneurysms are occasionally characterized by transmural inflammation involving lymphocytes and macrophage aggregation, and FG accumulates in the aggregated macrophages. Increased inflammation in the aortic aneurysm wall can be shown by FG. Hence, the absence of FG uptake in the aortic wall may indicate that the aneurysm wall is stable, whereas the presence of FG uptake may indicate an unstable aneurysm wall (Fig. 1). Sakalihasan et al. [1] showed a possible association between increased FG uptake and abdominal aortic aneurysm expansion and rupture. ortitis or Periaortitis Mechanism of FG ccumulation In aortitis, the main inflammatory lesions originate in the media or periaorta because of cellular infiltration by T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, monocytes, or granulocytes. FG mainly accumulates in monocytes. In active aortitis, FG uptake is higher in the large vessels than in the liver [2]. hronic Periaortitis hronic periaortitis is a clinical pathologic entity characterized by a fibroinflammatory reaction that extends from the adventitia of the abdominal aorta and the common iliac arteries into the retroperitoneum and that often leads to the encasement of adjacent structures (i.e., the ureter and inferior vena cava). The following three main entities are included: idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis, inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms, and perianeurysmal retroperitoneal fibrosis [3]. FG accumulates in the monocytes associated with chronic periaortitis (Fig. 2). JR:195, July

For personal use only; all rights reserved Giant ell rteritis Giant cell arteritis (G) affects large and medium-sized vessels and is best known for its manifestation in the extracranial branches of the carotid artery. The systemic manifestations of G include fever, malaise, and weight loss. rticles in the literature suggest that clinically manifested aortic disease occurs in 10 15% of G patients, about one third of whom present with aortic dissection or rupture, which most commonly affects the proximal thoracic aorta. linically manifested large-artery (i.e., the aorta and proximal branches) complications have been reported in up to 27% of patients with G [4]. PET can be used as a sensitive and reasonably specific diagnostic test for largevessel G (Fig. 3) because FG accumulates in areas of inflammation in the aortic wall. Takayasu rteritis Takayasu arteritis is a chronic inflammatory arteritis that primarily involves the aorta and its main branches [5]. PET is a wellestablished functional imaging technique that provides data on glucose metabolism in lesions (Fig. 4) and allows the visualization of inflammatory cells. Increased FG accumulation allows detection of active inflammation of the aorta in patients with early-phase Takayasu arteritis [6]. dditionally, the ability to visualize FG accumulation in activated inflammatory cells makes PET a promising technique for evaluating disease activity and the response to therapy in patients with Takayasu arteritis. Thrombus Mechanism of FG ccumulation In resting platelets, selectins are stored; on activation, they are redistributed to the platelet surface and initiate adhesion to Ws. FG accumulates in Ws. Intramural Hematoma Intramural hematoma may be differentiated from aortic dissection in that hemorrhaging of the aortic wall occurs in the absence of intimal disruption. Focal FG uptake in the wall of the aorta can be seen in intramural hematoma [7] (Fig. 5). lthough patients with intramural hematoma usually present with sudden back or chest pain, we encountered a patient with an intramural hematoma that was discovered by PET examination for cancer screening. In that case, PET examination allowed early diagnosis of the intramural hematoma and enabled appropriate treatment. Graft Thrombus Vascular prosthesis infection is a serious complication with high morbidity and mortality. Vascular graft infections are usually detected by T or MRI, but there is growing interest in PET as an imaging technique for the detection of infections. Increased FG uptake can be seen in areas of activated granulocytes [8]. onsequently, PET has the potential to depict vascular graft infections, as illustrated in several reports [9 11]; however, synthetic grafts provoke chronic lowgrade inflammation and thrombus. This chronic inflammation and thrombus constitute a potential site for FG uptake and, therefore, a potential risk of false-positive PET results (Fig. 6). onclusion FG PET findings can provide additional information for the diagnosis of aortic diseases and valuable information for clinical management. It is essential to understand the characteristics of FG uptake in various aortic diseases for proper appreciation of PET findings. References 1. Sakalihasan N, Van amme H, Gomez P, et al.
