Vasculitis refers to a group of rare conditions characterized by the inflammation of blood vessels, affecting multiple systems. It presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to its broad clinical manifestations. Vasculitis is classified based on the size of the affected vessels: small, medium, large, or variable-sized. Large vessel vasculitis (LVV), particularly giant cell arteritis (GCA) and Takayasu arteritis (TAK), has garnered attention due to its significant morbidity and mortality. Both conditions involve immune-mediated inflammation of the vascular wall, despite differing in epidemiology and presentation. Early identification is crucial to prevent complications like organ ischemia and hemorrhage. Diagnostic accuracy can be hampered by false negative results, making comprehensive investigation essential. Vascular imaging, including computed tomography angiography (CTA), ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), is key in diagnosing vasculitis, revealing vessel wall thickening and other suggestive features. This article reviews typical and atypical CT and CTA findings in LVV, discusses imaging modalities, and highlights their role in therapeutic management and prognosis. It emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and the critical role of radiologists in improving patient outcomes in LVV.
