Overview
Other Imaging Findings
Gallium-67 radionuclide scan
- This scan may demonstrate increased uptake in the aorta and branches.
Duplex Doppler
- This modality may be used to evaluate and monitor disease in the common carotids and subclavian arteries; however, this imaging study is not useful in evaluating the aorta.
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)
- In patients with TA, MRA shares the similar features of TA with CTA images, and can be used in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients undergoing treatment, especially those who are young.[1]
- The disadvantages of MRA are the contraindications associated with:
- Electronic devices
- Intraluminal stent implantation
- Claustrophobia
