Imaging Features of Takayasu Disease

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Systemic Vasculitis

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

  • 1887 Accesses

Abstract

The best diagnostic modalities of Takayasu disease are computed tomography, angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, and ultrasonography when the acoustic window is adequate. Diagnostic activity can be determinate by positron emission tomography–computed tomography scan and with a delayed-enhancement pulsed sequence by magnetic resonance angiography. The therapeutic methods are medical treatment, endovascular treatment, and surgery in the case of failure of both treatments.
