Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings for temporal arteritis (giant cell arteritis) include loss of the normal flow void in affected vessels from occlusion or slow flow associated with disease. Enhancement of the arterial wall may be observed after the administration of gadolinium-based contrast material. [20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25] MRA may also demonstrate stenoses, irregularity of the vessel wall, and beading or thickening of the vessel wall.
