This case illustrates a nosological problem that can occur when dealing with a disease that has diverse clinical manifestations and nonspecific laboratory findings. Moreover, this case demonstrates the value of including a branch artery segment when biopsying the temporal artery....

Histologic confirmation of the diagnosis with a temporal artery biopsy makes an important contribution to all 3 of these stages. A positive tissue diagnosis provides the clinician with the conviction to maintain high dosages of corticosteroids for a prolonged period, even if significant steroid-induced...
Archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) temporal artery biopsy (TAB) specimens potentially represent a valuable resource for large-scale genetic analysis of this disease. FFPE TAB samples were obtained from 12 patients with GCA. Extracted TAB DNA was assessed by real time PCR before ...
How does previous corticosteroid treatment affect the biopsy findings in giant cell (temporal) arteritis? OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of previous corticosteroid treatment on the results of temporal artery biopsy. DESIGN: Consecutive case series. SETTING:......
INTRODUCTION This study aims to evaluate the use of PET/CT compared with temporal artery biopsy (TAB) as a diagnostic tool in patients suspected of giant cell arteritis (GCA) and to determine the influence of glucocorticoid treatment on diagnostic performance.METHODS This was a retrospective cohort...
(TAB) may be con-sidered a gold standard for the diagnosis of GCA, there issignificant debate over how accurately a definitive diag-nosis can be made from TAB alone. Furthermore, the Roleof Ultrasound Compared to Biopsy of Temporal Arteries inthe Diagnosis and Treatment of Giant Cell ...
The registration of MRI with real-time ultrasound was applied for better biopsy procedures in potential breast cancer cases [266]. Dietzel, et al. [65] combined 2D X-ray mammograms with 3D MR mammograms with a nonlinear deformation model. Xu, et al. [267] adapted multiple image registration...
