18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Uptake in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: A Useful Biomarker of AAA Rupture Risk

الملخص EN

Moris et al.

discuss several emerging biomarkers implicated in the pathophysiology of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) [1].

These include biomarkers related to AAA extracellular matrix homeostasis or proteolysis, cellular or signalling pathways, proteins released by intraluminal thrombi, circulating cells and inflammation, metabolomics and genetic biomarkers.

One emerging biomarker which probably also deserves to be mentioned is 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG).
