Abstract Objectives Color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) of the temporal arteries (TA) is
becoming the first test to be performed for suspected giant cell arteritis (GCA). Our aim was …

Objectives To compare limited with a more extended ultrasound examination (anteromedial
ultrasound, A2-ultrasound) to detect large vessel (LV) involvement in patients with newly …

Objective. Use of TA-US for diagnostic investigation of giant cell arteritis (GCA) has been
proposed but remains a matter of debate because of the heterogeneous findings. We …

Objective. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a vasculitis that occurs in older adults, affecting
vessels of medium and large caliber. GCA diagnosis is a challenge for general practitioners …

Anne Bull Haaversen and colleagues compared extended with limited vascular ultrasound
in a giant cell arteritis (GCA) fasttrack clinic. Limited ultrasound included temporal and …

Objective. The diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) is primarily a clinical one. Temporal
artery (TA) ultrasound (US) has been proposed as a new diagnostic tool. We aimed to …

Objective Color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) can detect inflammation in the vessel wall.
No studies have evaluated the examination of the common carotid artery by CDUS in the …

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic performance of an extended ultrasound protocol in
patients referred under the suspicion of giant cell arteritis (GCA). Methods Consecutive …

Objective. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of colour duplex sonography
(CDS)-guided temporal artery biopsy (TAB) for the diagnosis of GCA in patients with …

Background Ultrasonography of temporal arteries is not commonly used in the approach of
patients with suspected giant cell arteritis (GCA) in clinical practice. A meta-analysis of …
