2D-cranial T1-black-blood MRI in suspected giant cell arteritis—measurement of vessel wall thickness does not give a diagnostic advantage compared to visual scoring alone

2D-cranial T1-black-blood MRI in suspected giant cell arteritis—measurement of vessel wall thickness does not give a diagnostic advantage compared to visual scoring alone

ObjectivesTo compare two established scoring schemes for the 2D-T1-weighted “black-blood” MRI sequence (T1-BB) for superficial cranial arteries (SCA) in the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA).MethodsTen arterial segments were evaluated in T1-BB images with two different methods: a visual semiqu...
