Sonographic Evaluation of Arteritis

Sarah Rogers, RDMS

Baptist College of Health Sciences, Memphis, TN, sarah1rogers{at}hotmail.com

Arteritis is an inflammation of the arterial wall that can lead to stenosis or occlusion of the affected vessels. Symptoms vary and depend on the arteries involved. Diagnosis is based on multiple factors consisting of the size of the arteries involved, patient age, clinical symptoms and history, laboratory results (blood and/or biopsy), and diagnostic examination analysis. Sonography is a valuable diagnostic tool, especially in large artery involvement.

Key Words: arteritis • Takayasu’s arteritis • giant cell arteritis • wall thickening • occlusion • MRA
