    This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in patients with suspected giant cell arteritis

    Temporal artery biopsy is considered the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis gold standard, although about diagnosis 39% of biopsy-negative patients subsequently diagnosed with giant cell arteritis


    Methods: In this prospective, multicenter, non-interventional cohort study (assessing the role of ultrasound in patients suspected of having extracranial and intracranial giant cell arteritis; EUREKA ), investigators were continuously recruited aged 50 years Or above, patients suspected of having giant cell arteritis in three Danish hospitals

    Methods: In this prospective, multicenter, non-interventional cohort study (assessing the role of ultrasound in patients suspected of having extracranial and intracranial giant cell arteritis; EUREKA ), investigators were continuously recruited aged 50 years Or above, patients suspected of having giant cell arteritis in three Danish hospitals


    Results: 2014 Nian 4 Yue 1 to 2017 Nian 7 Yue 31 the date of 118 patients were screened, of which 106 patients underwent ultrasound examination and qualified temporal artery biopsy, diagnosis and is included in the intention of the crowd


    Conclusion: Under the conditions of systematically trained sonographers using appropriate equipment and environment, vascular ultrasound may effectively replace temporal artery biopsy as a first-line diagnostic method for patients suspected of having giant cell arteritis
