Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study aims at measuring the sensitivity and specificity of a series of imaging signs (recorded by magnetic resonance angiography, vascular tomodensitometry, vascular ultrasonography, retina angiography and retina optic coherence tomography) for the diagnosis of Horton disease, the gold standard being the result of temporal artery biopsy.
