Tracking Digital Ulcers in Systemic Sclerosis: Feasibility Study Assessing Lesion Area from Patient-Recorded Smartphone Photographs
Background/Purpose: Approximately 50% of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) will develop painful digital (finger) ulcers (DUs) at some point during their disease course. These lesions…Abstract Number: 820 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Prognostic Value of Positron Emission Tomography in a Prospective, Longitudinal Cohort of Patients with Large Vessel Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: While several studies have examined the potential of 18F-flurodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) to help establish a diagnosis of large vessel vasculitis (LVV),…Abstract Number: 2806 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Integrated Longitudinal Analysis Increases Precision and Reduces Bias: A Comparative 5-Year Analysis in the DESIR Cohort
Background/Purpose: Evaluation of imaging is important in spondyloarthritis (SpA) research, but loss to follow up often jeopardizes interpretation of the evaluation. The Interpretation may further…Abstract Number: 259 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Imaging for Diagnosis, Monitoring and Outcome Prediction of Large Vessel Vasculitis: A Systematic Review of the Literature and Meta-Analysis Informing the EULAR Recommendations
Background/Purpose: Modern imaging techniques including ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) are increasingly studied in large…Abstract Number: 821 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Discrepancies between Clinical- and Imaging-Based Assessments of Disease Activity in Takayasu’s Arteritis
Background/Purpose: To study the relationship between clinically-determined disease activity and vascular inflammation assessed by positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with TakayasuÕs arteritis (TAK). Methods:…Abstract Number: 264 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Novel Method to Assess Subchondral Bone Formation Using Naf-PET in the Evaluation of Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Previous studies using 18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography (NaF-PET) have quantified the increase in bone formation associated with osteoarthritic (OA) abnormalities with the maximum…Abstract Number: 871 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Rheumatoid Arthritis Compared to Diabetes Mellitus in Patients without Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease
Background/Purpose: Patients with DM have increased coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) compared to the general population, leading to higher rates of cardiac death despite normal perfusion…Abstract Number: 265 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Reliability of an Omeract Semiquantitative Scoring System and Imaging Atlas for the Assessment of Cartilage in Hand Osteoarthritis
