1. To learn optimal imaging techniques (CT, MRI, PET, angiography) in the diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis (TA) 2. To learn typical imaging features of TA 3. To learn atypical imaging features of TA 4. To learn pitfalls and limitations of each imaging modality  

1. Introduction 2. Optimal imaging techniques in the diagnosis of TA 3. Typical imaging features of TA - Stenoocclusive lesions of the aorta and its major branches, and pulmonary artery - Aneurysmal changes of the aorta and its major branches - Thickening and contrast-enhancement of the vessel wall in early-phase TA 4. Atypical imaging features of TA - Dissection, rupture, and pseudoaneurysm of the aorta - Pulmonary infarction - Pulmonary artery dissection - Coronary artery aneurysm - Cardiac involvement (myocarditis, pericarditis)   5. Pitfalls in the diagnosis of TA 6. Summary
