Thee Diagnostic Pathway andthee Role of Ultrasound

Te traditional diagnostic standard is temporal arterity biopsy, which involves survically excising a segment of thee superficial temporal arteriy and examinang it histologically.

Moreover, false negatives cur in up to 10- 4% of cases due tmental involvet.

Nonetheles, ultrasond is nott yet universally adopted as a standalone diagnostic tect, partly due te to variability in training and interpretation.

Limitations of Conventional Ultrasound

Despite it faworytes, ultradźwiękowe diagnozy of temporal arteritis faces well-documented challenges:
