PET/MRI as a combined morphologic and functional technique offers valuable data with respect to disease extent and activity in SSc and results correlate positively with clinical and laboratory scores. Interestingly, FDG-PET and MRI seem to assess the inflammatory processes from different points of view and thus providing complementary information.
