1. Recent advances in imaging modalities allow not only early diagnosis but also detailed assessment of localization and activity of vascular lesions of Takayasu arteritis (TA) including aorta and its branches, coronary artery, and pulmonary artery. 2. These imaging modalities also provide the information of fatal or serious arterial complication of TA and may be helpful for planning and modifying treatment.  

The pictorial review of the imaging findings of TA and its differential diagnosis - Aorta and its branches - Coronary artery - Pulmonary artery - Iliac and femoral artery - Others Recent advances in imaging modalities for evaluating vascular lesions of TA - Multidetector-row CT or CT angiography - MRI or MR angiography - FDG-PET/CT - Others The characteristics and the role of imaging for the fatal or serious arterial complication of TA - Aortic regurgitation - Aortic aneurysm, dissection, atypical coarctation of aorta - Renal arterial stenosis - Others
