Vascular inflammation in a growing iliac artery aneurysm.

Abstract

We have used a multimodality imaging approach to assess the inflammatory component of a growing iliac artery aneurysm in a 53-year-old man who presented with related ureteral obstruction. Research suggests that episodic and heterogeneous inflammatory processes are important for the progression of aneurysms. The combined PET and MRI evaluation of inflammation that we present here is a novel approach to vascular imaging that is well suited for emerging hybrid PET/MRI systems.
