Overview

There are no diagnostic MRI findings associated with temporal arteritis. However, a MRI with gandolium contrast may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of temporal arteritis, which include loss of the normal flow in affected vessels from occlusion, slow flow through the vessel, stenoses, irregularity of the vessel wall, and beading or thickening of the vessel.

MRI

There are no diagnostic MRI findings associated with temporal arteritis. However, a MRI with gandolium contrast may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of temporal arteritis, which include:[1][2][3][4]

  • Loss of the normal flow in affected vessels from occlusion
  • Slow flow associated with disease
  • Stenoses
  • Irregularity of the vessel wall
  • Beading or thickening of the vessel
