Clinical diagnosis is complex, requiring image testing such as CT angiography or leukocyte scintigraphy, which has considerable limitations. The aim of this study was to know the diagnostic yield of PET/CT withWe performed a prospective cohort study including 49 patients with suspected PVGI, median age of 62 ± 14 years.
