title: [Doppler flowmetry in temporal arteritis. Indications and limitations].
abstract: Doppler test in temporal arthritis. Prescriptions and limits The paper describes the Authors' personal experience in using the Doppler test for the diagnosis of temporal arthritis in a small group of patients clinically suspected of the pathology. The method has proved useful in the diagnosis and follow-up of the disease, but the diagnosis is confirmed by a biopsy of the temporal artery which still plays an important role.
