Follow-up 18F-FDG-PET/CT image. (a) A repeat 18F-FDG-PET/CT scan was performed after 3 months of glucocorticoid treatment, and the pericardial inflammation markedly improved with a decreased 18F-FDG uptake (SUVmax = 1.5) in the pericardium (arrow). (b) 18F-FDG uptake in the pericardium (arrow) in PET image. 18F-FDG-PET/CT: fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose -positron emission tomography/computed tomography, SUVmax: maximum standardized uptake value
