Гигантоклеточный артериит (ГКА), ранее известный как височный артериит, представляет собой хроническое иммуноопосредованное воспалительное заболевание с острым началом, являющееся наиболее распространенной формой системного васкулита у пациентов старше 50 лет. Заболевание оказывает значительное влияние на качество жизни и может приводить к развитию тяжелых осложнений, включая необратимую потерю зрения. Ввиду сложности диагностики ГКА, а  также необходимости морфологической верификации диагноза особую значимость приобретает применение методов лучевой диагностики. Использование стандартизированного унифицированного магнитно-резонансного протокола позволяет повысить точность диагностики, подтвердить клинический диагноз и обеспечить навигацию при выполнении биопсии пораженного сегмента артерии.

Giant cell arteritis (GCA), previously known as temporal arteritis, is a chronic  immunemediated   infl ammatory disease with acute onset, representing the most common form of systemic vasculitis in patients over 50 years of age. The disease signifi cantly impacts quality of life and can lead to severe complications, including  irreversible  vision loss. Due to the diagnostic complexity of GCA and the need for  morphological  verifi cation of the diagnosis, the use of radiological  imaging methods is of particular importance. The application of a standardized, unifi ed MRI protocol improves diagnostic accuracy, confi rms the clinical diagnosis, and provides navigation for biopsy of the aff ected arterial segment.
