Velocimetric Study of Temporal Arteries in Patients With Horton Disease Using Scan-Doppler

The use of ultrasonography in detecting giant cell arteritis ( GCA) is emerging. Currently, temporal biopsy is the gold standard to diagnose GCA but studies have shown the interest to use B mode ultrasonography. However, until now, the study of velocities in GCA have not been yet performed.
