Abstract: Takayasu arteritis（TA） is an immune-mediated，chronic，granulomatous，inflammatory disease that predominantly affects the aorta and its major branches. The diagnosis strategy of childhood TA currently being adopted is the classification criteria developed by the European League Against Rheumatism， the Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization and the Pediatric Rheumatology European Society. Imaging is crucial for the diagnosis of TA and the evaluation of disease activity. Consensus published by Single Hub and Access Point for Paediatric Rheumatology in Europe（SHARE） is the further supplement to the classification criteria.

摘要： 大动脉炎（TA）是由免疫机制介导的慢性、肉芽肿性、炎症性疾病，病变主要累及主动脉及其一级分支。现今儿童TA诊断多采用由欧洲抗风湿病联盟、欧洲儿童风湿病学会和儿科风湿病国际研究组织共同制定的分类标准。影像学检查是诊断TA及评估疾病活动程度的重要方法。欧洲儿童风湿病单中心及访问点所发布的共识对该标准做了进一步补充。
