Imaging techniques in the evaluation of primary large vessel vasculitides
Zeitschrift für Rheumatologie, 08/03/09

Both M et al. – This article reviews the clinical and morphological features of primary large vessel vasculitides which are fundamental to the identification of the disease and the assessment of inflammatory activity using imaging modalities. Angiography is the gold standard for the evaluation of stenotic lesions and can be combined with interventional treatment. Vessel wall thickening as a defining diagnostic criterion is outlined only by cross–sectional imaging. In addition to MR angiography, MRI techniques in particular enable vizualization of inflammatory processes in central as well as in peripheral arteries.
