Ultrasonography Is Helpful For Optimizing The Diagnosis Of Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: 2010 ACR–EULAR criteria enable us to make diagnosis of early rheumatoid arhtiritis (RA) with no erosion revealed by X-ray. However, the criteria potentially possess…Abstract Number: 1945 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparison Of Selected Joint Evaluation With Comprehensive Assessment In Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography For Detection Of Synovitis In Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Musculoskeletal ultrasonography (US) is recognized as a useful tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), though a standard procedure has not…Abstract Number: 1110 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Onychopathy: When Ultrasound Can Help The Dermatologist
Background/Purpose: Nail disease represents a very important symptom in subjects with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). From a dermatologic perspective, onychopathy is a predictor for…Abstract Number: 757 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Impact Of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging On Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis Outcomes: A Long-Term Retrospective Study On 42 Patients
Background/Purpose: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) cardiomyopathy carries a poor prognosis, and is the main cause of 1st-year and long-term mortality. Morbidity due to chronic…Abstract Number: 221 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Detection Of Cerebral Microvascular Lesions In Patients With Acute Phase Neuropsychiatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus By 7Tesla MRI
Background/Purpose: The cerebral microvascular lesions of patients with neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) have not been fully elucidated. The 7Tesla MR scanner has high image…Abstract Number: 214 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Use Of Dual-Energy Computed Tomography In Evaluation Of Axial Gout
Background/Purpose: Axial (spinal) involvement has become increasingly recognized as a potential manifestation of gouty arthritis. The presentation can vary widely from mild, asymptomatic disease to…Abstract Number: 218 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Role Of Salivary GLAND Ultrasound In Sjogren Syndrome: A Single Center Experience
Background/Purpose: There is increasingly scientific evidence of salivary gland ultrasonography accuracy and usefulness in diagnosing Sjogren Syndrome. [1-2] Methods: 82 patients with suspected Sjogren Syndrome…Abstract Number: 2889 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Bone Marrow Edema and Structural Lesions In The Sacroiliac Joint In a Large Cohort Of Patients With Axial Spondyloarthritis, Chronic Low Back Pain and Healthy Controls
Background/Purpose: MRI of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is included in the ASAS classification criteria for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) to identify patients at an earlier stage of…Abstract Number: 2211 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Is It Useful to Repeat an MRI of the Sacroiliac Joints in the Diagnostic Work-up for Spondyloarthritis?
Background/Purpose: In the diagnostic work-up of spondyloarthritis (SpA), imaging of the sacroiliac joints by MRI (MRI-SIJ) is an important step. One study showed that in…Abstract Number: 2100 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Relative, Reliability-Adjusted Diagnostic Test Accuracy of Erosion Detection Between Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Radiography in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), erosion detection on radiography (X-ray) compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is characterized by low sensitivity and high specificity. This…Abstract Number: 1116 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Diagnostic Value of Internal Rotation Measurement in Patients with Cam- and Pincer-Type Deformities of the Hip
Background/Purpose: It has been proposed that femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) causes early osteoarthritis (OA) in non-dysplastic hips. FAI occurs predominantly in two different types, ”cam” or…Abstract Number: 1048 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Tenosynovitis in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Prevalence and Comparison Between Ultrasonography, Surgery and Histology
Background/Purpose: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common neuropathy affecting the median nerve. CTS occurs more frequently in inflammatory arthropathies, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA).…Abstract Number: 1052 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Systematic Review of the Association Between Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Radiographic Detection of Erosions in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), disparities between erosive bone lesion detection on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray require reconciliation. It is hypothesized that early…Abstract Number: 958 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Prevelance of Spondyloarthropathy in Fibromyalgia Patients
