Aim of the Study: To analyze and describe clinical findings and results of multimodal vascular imaging of the craniocervical arteries. Patients and Methods: Out of 317 aGCA patients, 36 (11%) presented with CI. All patients underwent vascular imaging including ultrasonography (US) of the temporal arteries (TA) and precerebral arteries, biopsies were taken in 27, CTA/MRA were performed in 21 and FDG-PET in 18 patients.
