Summary
This study looks at whether a lower-resolution MRI can reliably diagnose giant cell arteritis (GCA), a condition that inflames arteries and can cause blindness or stroke if not treated quickly. Researchers will compare different MRI scans in 133 adults suspected of having GCA. If successful, simpler MRI machines could be used more widely, helping doctors start life-saving steroid treatment sooner.
