Identification of patients who unlikely respond to therapy before or early in a course of the treatment could reduce morbidity and produce cost-savings. This project will evaluate the potential of advanced functional imaging techniques to monitor disease activity. Functional imaging will focus on two pathological features of SSc, i.e. metabolic activity evaluated by glucose analog 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), and expression of inflammation-inducible vascular adhesion protein 1 (VAP-1) evaluated by new 68Ga-DOTA-Siglec-9 tracer.
