MRI
- There are no diagnostic MRI findings associated with temporal arteritis. However, a MRI with gandolium contrast may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of temporal arteritis, which include:[20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25]
- Loss of the normal flow in affected vessels from occlusion
- Slow flow associated with disease
- Stenoses
- Irregularity of the vessel wall
- Beading or thickening of the vessel
