Association Between Hip Bone Marrow Lesions (BMLs) and Bone Mineral Density: A Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Population-Based Study
Background/Purpose: Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) have been identified one of the key pathologic features in knee osteoarthritis (OA) 1. However, there is limited data on…Abstract Number: 1061 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Generation of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Vitro From Murine Bone Marrow Precursors
Background/Purpose: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are innate immune cells that expand under pathological conditions (such as cancer and autoimmune diseases) in response to local growth…Abstract Number: 1028 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Semi-Quantitative Assessment of Bone Marrow Edema and Synovitis-Effusion in Osteoarthritis with the Knee Inflammation MRI Scoring System: A Target Lesion Based Methodology
Background/Purpose: Current MRI scoring methods for assessment of bone marrow lesions (BML) in the knee of patients with osteoarthritis rely on a complex subdivision of…Abstract Number: 1029 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Frequency of Mediopatellar Plica in Persons with Chronic Knee Pain and Its Cross-Sectional Association with Patellofemoral Cartilage Damage and Bone Marrow Lesions: Data From the Joints On Glucosamine Study
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) commonly occurs in the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) and knee pain in subjects with knee OA often emanates from the PFJ rather than…Abstract Number: 271 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Bone Marrow Lesions in Knees with Osteoarthritis: Can Parameters From Dynamic Contrast Enhancement Predict Change in Bone Marrow Lesion Volume or Knee Pain Change?
Background/Purpose: Dynamic contrast enhancement is a powerful tool for highlighting features of a medical image which may not otherwise be seen on "static" scans. While…Abstract Number: 2612 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Localisation of Bone Marrow Edema in Sacroiliac Joints in Spondyloarthritis Patients: Does the Site of Lesions Change Over a 3-Month Period?
Background/Purpose: A positive MRI at baseline is a strong predictor for a positive follow-up MRI1. But many questions about the volatility of the lesions over…Abstract Number: 2583 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Bone Structure and Perfusion Quantification of Bone Marrow Edema and Pannus Tissue Areas in the Wrist of Patients with RA
Background/Purpose: Bone marrow edema (BME) has been suggested as a strong predictor for erosive progression in RA joints, however, no previous studies examined the bone…Abstract Number: 2142 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Proven Osteitis At Baseline Predicts the Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Who Will Develop Rapid Radiographic Progression: MRI Is Beneficial to Find the Window of Opportunity in Early RA
Background/Purpose: Window of opportunity exists in the earlier phase of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), thus, early recognition of the RA patients who will develop rapid radiographic…Abstract Number: 2135 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Trabecular Bone Texture parameters are Correlated with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) bone Edema At Hand and Wrist in Active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Background/Purpose: In RA, bone marrow edema (BME) is predictive of erosive progression. Bone erosions are assumed to appear through activation of local bone resorption mechanisms,…
