Other Imaging Findings

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.
• The disadvantages of MRA are the contraindications associated with:
  • Electronic devices
  • Intraluminal stent implantation
  • Claustrophobia
