• W2985394094 abstract "ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) combined with contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify inflammation in asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).MethodsFDG PET/MRI was performed on 15 patients with asymptomatic infrarenal AAAs >45 mm diameter. Prevalence of FDG uptake and MRI findings of inflammatory changes (oedema, wall thickening, and late gadolinium enhancement [LGE]) in the aortic wall were investigated at three levels: suprarenal aorta; non-aneurysmal aortic neck; and AAA.ResultsThe median diameter of the AAAs was 54 mm (range 47–65 mm) and the median expansion rate in the last 12 months was 3 mm (range 1–13 mm). The standard uptake value (SUV) of FDG in the aneurysmal wall (SUVmax 2.5) was higher than the blood pool (SUVmax 1.0; p < .001). The maximum target to background ratio was higher in the suprarenal aorta (mean ± SD; 3.1 ± 0.6) and aortic neck (2.7 ± 0.5) than in the aneurysmal aorta (2.5 ± 0.5; p < .001). Thirty-six FDG hotspots were observed in the aneurysmal wall of 13 patients. Wall thickening and LGE were identified in eight patients. The number of FDG hotspots correlated with recent AAA growth (r = 0.62, p = .01). The recent aneurysm expansion rate was higher in aneurysms with LGE than in those without (7 mm vs. 2 mm; p = .03). MRI inflammatory changes were observed in nine of 36 hot spots (25%) and in three of 13 patients with focal FDG uptake.ConclusionFully integrated FDG PET/MRI can be used to study inflammation in asymptomatic AAAs. Heterogenous uptake of FDG in the aneurysmal wall indicates increased glucose metabolism, suggesting an ongoing inflammation. However, these FDG hotspots rarely correspond to MRI findings of inflammation, raising the question of which type of cellular activity is present in these areas. The presence of LGE and FDG hotspots both correlated to recent aneurysm growth, and their usefulness as clinical markers of aneurysm growth warrant additional investigation.
