Overview
CT scan manifestations in Takayasu arteritis include mural thickening (typical manifestation), calcification of the thickened wall, and double ring enhancement pattern.
Key CT Findings in Takayasu's arteritis
- In patients with TA, the typical manifestation on CT images is the concentric mural thickening of the involved arteries.[1]
- CT scan manifestations in Takayasu arteritis include:
- Mural thickening (most important finding in the early phases of the disease)
- Calcification of the thickened wall (usually transmural in 27% of patients)
- Double ring enhancement pattern
