A Chapel Hill-i Konszenzuskonferencia által megfogalmazott beosztás szerint az óriássejtes arteritis és a Takayasu-arteritis tartozik a nagyérvasculitisek csoportjába. E kórállapotok felismerése döntően a klinikai kép értékelésén, valamint a különböző vascularis képalkotó módszerek alkalmazásán alapul. Az utóbbi lehetőséggel kapcsolatban az elmúlt években jelentős technológiai fejlődés figyelhető meg, amely már nemcsak a diagnózis felállítását, hanem a betegség kiterjedtségének és az érfali gyulladás fokának a megítélését is lehetővé teszi. Ezenfelül az érfali gyulladás későbbi szövődményeinek felismerése is lehetővé válik. Az ultrahang, a komputertomográfia és a mágnesesrezonancia-vizsgálat, valamint a pozitronemissziós tomográfia képviselik azokat a képalkotó modalitásokat, amelyek a bennük rejlő lehetőségek miatt elengedhetetlenek az érintett betegek felismeréséhez, valamint hatékony kezelésük és követésük tervezéséhez. Az ismeretek összefoglalása számos, az érintett betegek gondozásában potenciálisan érintett szakterület érdeklődésére tarthat számot. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(23): 939–950.
