New imaging study aims to stop blindness from misdiagnosed artery inflammation
NCT ID NCT07206238
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study looks at two conditions that can cause sudden vision loss: giant cell arteritis (GCA), a blood vessel inflammation that needs urgent treatment, and NAION, a similar condition that does not benefit from that treatment. Researchers will use special PET/MRI scans and eye imaging in 122 adults to find signs of inflammation around the eye's blood vessels. The goal is to better tell these conditions apart, so GCA patients get the right treatment quickly and NAION patients avoid unnecessary side effects.
