 ==Overview==
-The [[Gold standard (test)|gold standard]] for diagnosing temporal arteritis is [[biopsy]], which involves removing of a small part of the vessel and examining it [[microscope|microscopically]] for giant cells infiltrating the tissue. Since the [[blood vessel]]s are involved in a patchy pattern, there may be unaffected areas on the vessel and the biopsy might have been taken from these parts. So, a [[false negative|negative result]] does not definitely rule out the diagnosis.
