Overview
MRI can demonstrate mural thickening with luminal stenosis of the aorta and aortic branch vessels. It can directly visualize the vessel wall independent of luminal diameter and can be helpful in diagnosis of inflammation in early vasculitis.
Key MRI findings in Takayasu's arteritis
MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis as follows:[1][2]
- MRI can demonstrate mural thickening with luminal stenosis of the aorta and aortic branch vessels.
- MRI can directly visualize the vessel wall and has the potential to detect pathologic features of the arterial wall independent of luminal diameter.
- 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.
