  Advancements in Imaging Modalities for Early Diagnosis and Monitoring of Vasculitis Progression
  Author(s): Sandra Betty*
  
  Advancements in imaging modalities have revolutionized the early diagnosis and monitoring of vasculitis, a group of inflammatory diseases affecting blood vessels. This article provides an overview of the latest developments in imaging techniques for the detection and assessment of vasculitis progression. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging, ultrasound, and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) offer valuable insights into vascular inflammation, enabling clinicians to visualize vessel abnormalities, assess disease activity, and guide treatment decisions. Despite the unique advantages of each imaging modality, challenges remain, including radiation exposure, contrast agent use, and accessibility. Future directions include personalized imaging approaches, quantitative imaging biomarkers, .. Read More»
