Psoriatic Arthritis Patients Assessed by Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI in High Disease Versus Minimal Disease Activity State – a Cross-Sectional Study Correlating Conventional MRI and Clinical Composite Measures
Background/Purpose: Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been validated in rheumatoid arthritis for measuring inflammation, but has rarely been studied in psoriatic arthritis…Abstract Number: 1050 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Assessment of Validity of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Measures of Joint Inflammation and Damage in Rheumatoid Arthritis Wrist/Hand – a Systematic Literature Review
Background/Purpose: Limitation of x-ray joint damage is a key indicator of therapeutic efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used…Abstract Number: 1019 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Visualization of Cartilage in High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging Is a New Imaging Biomarker for the Quantification of Joint Damage in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Recent achievements in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) have been the gradient-echo-based T1-delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) focussing on the detection of proteoglycan content…Abstract Number: 1021 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Follow-up of Clinical Remission in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Despite clinical remission, a substantial proportion of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) patients will flare after a period of inactive disease. MRI has proven to…Abstract Number: 1023 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Scoring Radiographic Progression in Axial Spa: Should We Use the Modified Stoke in Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score or the Radiographic Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score?
Background/Purpose: Radiographic damage is one of the core outcomes in axial SpA and it is usually assessed with the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) Spine…Abstract Number: 1034 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Changing Osteoarthritis Treatment Assessment Paradigms: Subchondral Bone Is a More Responsive Measure of Progression Than the Current Radiographic Standard
Background/Purpose: Radiographic joint space width (JSW) assessment, a surrogate for cartilage assessment, is the standard for structure modification trials of osteoarthritis (OA). However the subchondral…Abstract Number: 1009 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A New Approach for Detecting Progressive Joint Damage Using 3D Imaging From High-Resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography: Measuring Reproducibility
A New Approach for Detecting Progressive Joint Damage using 3D Imaging from High-Resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography: Measuring Reproducibility Background/Purpose: Joint space narrowing is an…Abstract Number: 732 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Changes in Subchondral Bone Provide a Sensitive Marker for Osteoarthritis and Its Progression: Results From a Large Osteoarthritis Initiative Cohort
Background/Purpose: Change in subchondral bone has been clinically associated with progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Modern image analysis techniques allow accurate, automated identification of bone in…Abstract Number: 710 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Optical Density Measure of the Papillary Dermis Discriminates As Abnormal Clinically Uninvolved Skin in Systemic Sclerosis and Correlates with Severity of Skin Thickness
Background/Purpose: Skin involvement in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is often primary outcome in clinical trials and its severity inversely correlates with prognosis. Nevertheless, an objective quantitative…Abstract Number: 571 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Description of Distribution of Active Inflammatory Lesions On Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Sacroiliac Joints and the Spine in Patients with Early Axial Spondyloarthritis – Analysis of the Esther Trial Baseline Data
Background/Purpose: To address the question whether active inflammation starts at specific sites of the sacroiliac joints (SI-joints) and/ or the spine. Methods: Wb-MRIs of…
