Particular emphasis will be put on Takayasu arteritis (also known as aortitis syndrome) most commonly observed in Japan and other oriental countries. CT and MRI better demonstrate the vessel wall abnormality of Takayasu arteritis than angiography. Importance of plain chest radiograph should also be kept in mind; it could provide a clue in the diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis in its early stage.展开更多
