Figure 1From: F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography for the diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis in stroke: a case report FDG PET-CT, MR-angiography and CT in a patient with TA and stroke. (A) F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography showing fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation in the carotid arteries, ascending aorta, and the abdominal aorta cranial to the aneurysm (arrows with corresponding maximal standardized uptake values). (B) Magnetic resonance angiography of the cerebral vessels. (C), (D) Infrarenal aortic aneurysm (13 cm × 4.8 cm) with mural thrombus (arrows). (E) Computed tomography and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography revealing middle cerebral artery stroke (arrows).Back to article page
