Vascular MRI also depicts musculoskeletal manifestations in giant-cell arteritis–polymyalgia rheumatica spectrum disease patients
Fifty-one percent of the GPSD patients showed signs of inflammation in at least one of the evaluated musculoskeletal structures on contrast-enhanced MRI, with the subscapularis tendon being the most frequently affected. A contrast-enhanced T1-weighted VIBE sequence provides a fast one-stop solution for assessing inflammatory wall changes of the aorta while simultaneously visualizing inflammation-suspect changes in the musculoskeletal structures of the torso within a reasonable examination time.
