1 Giant cell arteritis: Heterogeneity in clinical presentation and imaging results 
Stan P. Janssen, MD, Emile H. Comans, MD, Alexandre E. Voskuyl, MD, Willem Wisselink, MD, Yvo M. Smulders, MD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 48, Issue 4, Pages (October 2008) DOI: /j.jvs Copyright © 2008 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Patient 1. Transverse CT scan of the thorax (left) showing thickening of the ascending aortic wall (white arrow) and an 18-FDG PET scan (right) with intense 18-FDG uptake in the ascending aorta (white arrow). The uptake in the heart (green arrow) is physiologic. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2008 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Patient 3. Transverse CT scan of the abdomen (left) with remarkable thickening of the abdominal aortic wall (white arrow). A left renal artery stenosis is also seen (green arrow). On the right is an 18-FDG PET scan showing high 18-FDG uptake in the abdominal aorta (green arrow) and the branches of the arcus aorta (black arrow). The 18-FDG uptake in the heart (white arrow) is normal. The upper right side is another frontal plane showing intense 18-FDG uptake in the right carotid artery (white arrow).

4 Fig 3 Patient 5. Transverse CT scan of the thorax (left) with stenosis of the left subclavian artery (white arrow) with remarkable thickening of the artery wall. On the right side is an 18-FDG PET scan showing high uptake in the ascending aorta (black arrow) and its branches (white arrow).
