Primaire uitkomstmaten
1. To show the additional value of an temporal artery ultrasound and its ability to avoid unnecessary temporal artery biopsies. <br>
2. Potential cost reduction by application of a novel clinical tool.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Temporal arteritis is a disease involving the middle- and greater arteries of the human body. The golden standard for diagnosis is a temporal artery biopsy.
However, novel insights suggest that using ultrasound it is possible to diagnose arteritis temporalis without performing a biopsy with its potential complications.
We intend to correlate the outcome of the ultrasound with the biopsy in order to formulate a clinical tool that can indicate when a biopsy can be avoided in the presence of a positive ultrasound.
Doel van het onderzoek
The temporal artery biopsy has no additional value after a halo sign using ultrasound of the temporal artery
Onderzoeksopzet
Day 0: temporal artery ultrasound and biopsy.

Day 84: Long-term complications of the temporal artery biopsy.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
An ultrasound of the temporal artery is performed prior to the biopsy.
