Due to the heterogeneity of clinical manifestations, the diagnosis, monitoring, and risk stratification of large vessel vasculitis (LVV) can pose a challenge. As a result of technological progress in recent decades, a variety of non-invasive imaging modalities now play a crucial role in managing LVV. Ultrasound (US), 18-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and CT have proven useful in managing giant cell arteritis (GCA) and Takayasu arteritis (TAK).

The aim of this Research Topic is to compile a collection of articles that provide new insights and potential applications of imaging, especially but not limited to US, FDG-PET/CT, MRI, and CT, in the management of GCA, TAK, and isolated aortitis. The collection aims to cover various aspects, such as diagnosis, disease monitoring, defining remission, and risk stratification.

This Research Topic welcomes all article types available in the Rheumatology section of Frontiers in Medicine including Brief Research Report, Clinical Trial, Correction, General Commentary, Hypothesis & Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Original Research, Perspective, Review, Study Protocol, Systematic Review. Case reports will be considered only if they demonstrate exceptional interest and novelty.

Keywords: Large vessel vasculitis, giant cell arteritis, Takayasu, imaging, ultrasound, FDG-PET/CT, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography


Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
