Background: Differentiating arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (A-AION) due to giant cell arteritis (GCA) from non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NA-AION) may pose a diagnostic challenge. Our study aimed to assess the use of standard orbital MRI in distinguishing ocular manifestations of GCA from NA-AION.
Methods: This study included 25 consecutive patients (11 GCA, 14 NA-AION) who underwent contrast-enhanced orbital MRIs within 3 months of symptom onset.
Objectives: There are an increasing number of centers performing research on high-resolution vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (VW-MRI) in giant cell arteritis (GCA). However, harmonized approaches to VW-MRI in GCA are lacking and are essential to performing multicentre studies. Using a data-driven, consensus-based approach, an international expert group developed a standardized MRI protocol and scoring system to advance multi-centered research in cranial GCA.

Methods: This study is a prospective, multicenter clinical trial conducted in the United States and included core laboratory assessment of imaging and independent event adjudication. Anatomical criteria for enrollment in the HNA substudy included infrarenal aortic neck angulation >60° and ≤90° with aortic neck length ≥10 mm.
