The search was performed by combining the following search terms: polymyalgia/polymyalgic and (ultrasound or radiograph or X-ray or imaging or CT or MRI or PET or CT or isotope bone scan or positron emission tomography or MR). No language restrictions were made, in case the abstract reveals useful information.
