Overview
MRI can demonstrate mural thickening with luminal stenosis of the aorta and aortic branch vessels. It can be helpful in diagnosis of inflammation in early vasculitis.
Key MRI findings in Takayasu's arteritis
- MRI can demonstrate mural thickening with luminal stenosis of the aorta and aortic branch vessels.
- MRI can be helpful in diagnosis of inflammation in early vasculitis that may manifest as vessel wall thickening, mural enhancement, or mural edema, rather than vascular stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm.
