The 18-flurodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18 FDG PET-CT) is an alternative method that can be used in the diagnosis of ILD. A recent study evaluating patients with connective tissue disease reported that deep-inspiration breath-hold 18F-FDG-PET/CT could be a usef...
