Reliability of Normal Findings on MR Imaging for Excluding the Diagnosis of Vasculitis of the Central Nervous System
AJR 177:455-459, Wasserman, B.A.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
MR imaging findings may be negative in the setting of CNS vasculitis confirmed on angiography, indicating that advanced imaging techniques tailored to detect infarction (i.e., fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, diffusion-weighted, and perf usion imaging) may be necessary to enhance the sensitivity of an MR study and that despite the high sensitivity of MR imaging for CNS vasculitis, angiography may still be required to render an accurate diagnosis.
