Utility of temporal artery biopsy samples for genome-wide analysis of giant cell arteritis
Color duplex sonography (CDS) of the temporal arteries should be performed before temporal-artery biopsy (TAB; the gold-standard diagnostic method) in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA), say ...
Temporal artery biopsy has been the standard for diagnosing giant cell arteritis (GCA), but vascular ultrasound, a procedure that's less invasive, less time-intensive, less expensive, and more ...
Temporal artery ultrasound alone was sufficient to accurately diagnose giant cell arteritis (GCA) in over half of patients in a new prospective study. The findings provide further evidence that ...
