Low Dose Dual Energy CT Scan for the Detection of Bone Marrow Edema and Erosions in Axial Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: Bone marrow edema (BME) and erosions of the sacroiliac (SI) joints are key imaging features in the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). MRI with…Abstract Number: 1101 • ACR Convergence 2021
Atypical Pulmonary Radiographic Findings May Help Identify Patients with Usual Interstitial Pneumonia and Autoimmune Features
Background/Purpose: Once specific etiologic factors have been ruled out, the majority of patients with chronic interstitial pneumonia (IP) can be classified as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis…Abstract Number: 1146 • ACR Convergence 2021
Study of Vertebral and Femur Fracture Prevalence and Scanographic Bone Attenuation Coefficient of the First Lumbar Vertebra in an Academic Hospital Setting
Background/Purpose: Patients with osteoporosis are prone to suffer fragility fractures leading to an increased risk of future fractures. Detection of osteoporosis has been led by…Abstract Number: 1390 • ACR Convergence 2021
A 5% Increase in Interstitial Lung Disease at 1-Year Follow-up Is Associated with Long-Term ILD Progression in Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: The clinical course of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is highly variable. Some patients experience a progressive decline in lung function…Abstract Number: 1573 • ACR Convergence 2021
Vascular Monosodium Urate Crystal Deposition in Gout: A Dual-energy CT and Microscopy Study of Cadaveric Donors
Background/Purpose: Cardiovascular disease is a common comorbidity in people with gout. A hypothesized link between cardiovascular disease and gout is the deposition of monosodium urate…Abstract Number: 0150 • ACR Convergence 2021
Clinical Characteristics and Quantitative CT Findings in Connective Tissue Disease-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease
Background/Purpose: Precapillary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH) is a known complication of connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) but at present requires right heart catheterization (RHC)…Abstract Number: 1669 • ACR Convergence 2021
Minimal Erosive Volume Needed for Radiographic Identification of Erosions in the Metacarpophalangeal Joints in Rheumatoid Arthritis. a Comparative Analysis of High Resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography and Conventional Radiography
Background/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to estimate the minimal erosive volume identified by High-Resolution peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HR-pQCT) needed in order to…Abstract Number: 0170 • ACR Convergence 2021
Direct and Conditional Effects of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Volume on Coronary Plaque Progression in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Epicardial adipose tissue volume (EATv) predicts coronary atherosclerosis presence, progression and cardiovascular events in general patients. We recently reported that EATv associated with greater…Abstract Number: 1840 • ACR Convergence 2021
Can Dual-energy CT Lung Perfusion Detect Abnormalities at the Level of Lung Circulation in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) ? Preliminary Experience in 101 Patients
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disorder that is characterized by a interplay of vascular abnormalities, immune system activation and an uncontrolled fibrotic response…Abstract Number: 0173 • ACR Convergence 2021
Greater High-density Lipoprotein Levels over Time Are Linked to Lower Coronary Plaque Formation, Regression and Stabilization of High-risk Lesions in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The relationship between serum lipoproteins and cardiovascular (CV) disease risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is complex. Their levels and function may vary based on…Abstract Number: 0176 • ACR Convergence 2021
Semi-quantitative Chest Computed Tomography (CT) Analysis in Pediatric Rheumatologic (PR) Patients with Diffuse Lung Disease
Background/Purpose: Spiral chest CT (SCT) is commonly used to evaluate subclinical lung disease in pediatric rheumatology. However, there are no validated scoring tools to objectively…
