Three-Dimensional High-Resolution Black-Blood Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Detection of Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy in Patients With Giant Cell Arteritis

Three-dimensional T1-BB-MRI allows accurate detection of arteritic posterior ciliary artery involvement in patients with A-AION. Further, 3D T1-BB-MRI seems to display arteritic involvement of the posterior ciliary arteries earlier than funduscopy and might, therefore, display "vision-at-risk" in patients with visual impairment and suspected giant cell arteritis but unremarkable funduscopy.
