A member asked:
If i've had a mra done n dec2012 would that have shown if i had giant arteries like temporal arthritis or if my arteries was a normal size?

Best: Test for temporal arteritis is high resolution mra of the temporal arteries. Other mra may not show the problem. Ultrasound / doppler of temporal arteries is a good test also.

Depends: Mra is an excellent test, but it depends on exactly what part of the body was imaged.
