Background: While early diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) based on clinical criteria and contrast-enhanced MRI findings can lead to early treatment and prevention of blindness and cerebrovascular accidents, previously reported diagnostic methods which utilize contrast-enhanced whole head images are cumbersome.

To improve current diagnostic capabilities, new MRI-based diagnostic criteria need to be established.
