At present non-invasive imaging is of paramount importance in the diagnostic evaluation of large vessel vasculitis. For evaluation of the cranial and extracranial aortic branches color coded sonography is the method of choice, whereas CT and MRI are useful in assessing the thoracic aorta. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging allows direct visualization of the extent of vascular inflammation. To date the diagnostic benefit of combined PET and morphological imaging (PET-CT) as well as the value of imaging procedures in order to assess disease activity and therapy control remain unclear.
目前，无创成像在大血管血管炎的诊断评估中至关重要。对于颅内外主动脉分支的评估，彩色编码超声检查是首选方法，而CT和MRI在评估胸主动脉方面很有用。正电子发射断层扫描（PET）成像可直接显示血管炎症的范围。迄今为止，PET与形态学成像相结合（PET-CT）的诊断益处以及成像程序在评估疾病活动和治疗控制方面的价值仍不明确。
