The FDG uptake observed in the inflamed RA joints may reflect disease activity. The FDG-PET response was correlated with the clinical response to the biologic treatment of RA.

DWI may be particularly advantageous in depicting lymph node and liver metastases and may have a higher rate of detecting metastatic lesions when compared with MIBG or FDG-PET. The limitations of DWI were possible false-positive finding, and probable lower detectability of mediastinal lymph node and lung metastasis.
