  • Title: Chest roentgenography as a window to the diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis.
    Author: Berkmen YM, Lande A.
    Journal: Am J Roentgenol Radium Ther Nucl Med; 1975 Dec; 125(4):842-6. PubMed ID: 2023.
    Abstract:
    The chest roentgenographic findings in Takayasu's arteritis include widening of the ascending aorta, contour irregularities of the descending aorta, arotic calcifications, pulmonary arterial changes, rib notching, and hilar lymphadenopathy. The single most important diagnostic sign is a segmental calcification outlining a localized or diffuse narrowing of the aorta. The other signs may be suspicious or suggestive, but the diagnostic accuracy increases when several findings are present simultaneously.
