A prospective, multicenter Canadian diagnostic and longitudinal cohort study evaluating optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measured by ultrasound as a novel tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of giant cell arteritis (GCA). The study integrates standardized imaging,...
A pilot feasibility study evaluating the use of applanation tonometry to measure pulse wave velocity (PWV) of temporal arteries as an innovative, non-invasive diagnostic tool in GCA. The study aims to assess feasibility, reproducibility, and preliminary diagnostic...
A national initiative led through the Canadian Vasculitis Research Network (CanVasc) to develop evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of large-vessel vasculitis, including GCA and Takayasu arteritis. The project uses GRADE...
A multicenter, international translational research project aimed at developing and validating an artificial intelligence algorithm to standardize the acquisition and interpretation of temporal artery ultrasound in GCA. The study leverages large, diverse datasets...
