ASAS Recommendations for Requesting and Reporting Imaging in Patients with Suspected Axial Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: Clinicians face uncertainties in their daily practice when requesting imaging for patients with suspicion of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) or producing a report because requirements…Abstract Number: 1239 • ACR Convergence 2022
The Utility of Dual-Energy Computed Tomography in the Diagnosis of Gout
Background/Purpose: The diagnostic gold standard of the diagnosis of gout is joint aspiration and the identification of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals under polarized light microscopy.…Abstract Number: 1276 • ACR Convergence 2022
Bone Density Imaging: Evaluation of Equipment and Process of Care Quality in US Veterans
Background/Purpose: Osteoporotic fractures contribute to significant morbidity and mortality. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a valuable tool to identify osteoporosis, assess fracture risk, and monitor…Abstract Number: 1791 • ACR Convergence 2022
Point-of-Care Multi-Energy Photon-Counting CT for Earlier Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Gout and Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease
Background/Purpose: While the definitive diagnosis of gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) is still based on the identification of characteristic crystals in synovial fluid…Abstract Number: 0478 • ACR Convergence 2022
Sonographic Prevalence of Subclinical GCA in Newly Diagnosed PMR
Background/Purpose: It has been reported that 20-50% of patients with PMR have subclinical GCA. The natural history of US-defined subclinical GCA in PMR is not…Abstract Number: 1243 • ACR Convergence 2022
The Impact of MRI Slice Thickness on the Detection of Spinal Syndesmophytes in Axial Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: Conventional radiographs (CR) are the gold standard for detecting syndesmophytes in axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA), mainly because magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not able to…Abstract Number: 1292 • ACR Convergence 2022
Telemedicine’s Impact on Radiologic Ordering in an Academic Rheumatology Practice During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Background/Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the rapid implementation of telemedicine, and this shift's impact on practice patterns is still being characterized. We theorized that telemedicine…Abstract Number: 1801 • ACR Convergence 2022
High Frequency of Structural Damage in the Lower Spine of Patients with Chondrocalcinosis
Background/Purpose: Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease (CPPD, chondrocalcinosis) is known to affect fibrocartilaginous tissue in the large and smaller peripheral joints. The affection of…Abstract Number: 0479 • ACR Convergence 2022
A Prospective Study Evaluating the Utility of Ultrasound in Monitoring Newly-Diagnosed GCA
Background/Purpose: In recent years, Temporal Artery US (TAUS) has become a reliable alternative to biopsy for diagnosing GCA. However, normalisation of pathologic findings have been…Abstract Number: 1244 • ACR Convergence 2022
Incidence of Radiographic Spinal Damage in Psoriatic Arthritis Patients Compared to Spondyloarthritis Patients: Which Patients Are More Affected?
Background/Purpose: There is an ongoing debate on axial involvement in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients. This study reports the baseline radiographic spinal damage in PsA and…Abstract Number: 1328 • ACR Convergence 2022
CT Evaluation of Bone Fragility 2 Years After Bariatric Surgery in Patients with Obesity: An Observational Study
Background/Purpose: The objectives were to evaluate bone fragility on computed tomography (CT) in patients with obesity before and 2 years after bariatric surgery and to…Abstract Number: 1802 • ACR Convergence 2022
The Utility of Dual-energy Computed Tomography in Gout Patients During Urate Lowering Therapy
Background/Purpose: To investigate whether monosodium urate (MSU) deposition measured by dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) could help predict acute flares after discontinuing colchicine prophylaxis in patients…Abstract Number: 0480 • ACR Convergence 2022
Treatment of Giant Cell Arteritis Patients with Ultra-short Glucocorticoids and Tocilizumab: Role of Imaging in a Prospective Study
Background/Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and functional/morphological imaging response in a series of active large vessel (LV)-GCA patients treated with tocilizumab (TCZ) monotherapy after ultra-short-term…Abstract Number: 1245 • ACR Convergence 2022
Imaging Use and Medication Management in Giant Cell Arteritis
Background/Purpose: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) affects medium and large arteries. Although temporal artery biopsy (TAB) remains the gold standard for patients with cranial GCA, patients…Abstract Number: 1329 • ACR Convergence 2022
Prevalence of Bone Fragility on DXA and CT in Patients with Obesity
Background/Purpose: Primary objective was to evaluate bone fragility prevalence on dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and on computed tomography (CT), in patients with severe obesity. Secondary…
