Pericardial Involvement in Biopsy-Proven Giant-Cell Arteritis (GCA) Patients Detected By CT Angiography (CTA): Prevalence at Diagnosis and Outcome with Glucocorticoid (GC) Treatment
Background/Purpose: In GCA, cranial artery involvement is particularly frequent and underlies the classical manifestations and complications of the disease. Symptomatic pericarditis has been occasionally described…Abstract Number: 3097 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Osteoclast Precursor Frequency and Imaging Findings Associated with Arthritis Onset in a Psoriasis Longitudinal Cohort
Background/Purpose: Psoriasis (Ps) precedes joint inflammation by an average of 10 years psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients. Reports have demonstrated abnormal musculoskeletal imaging findings in psoriasis…Abstract Number: 892 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
FDG-PET CT Evaluation By Visual Grading Is Not Sufficiently Discriminative to Assess Disease Activity in Takayasu’s Arteritis Patients with ‘Persistent’ Disease
Background/Purpose: Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a large-vessel vasculitis in which assessment of disease activity is challenging. Recent studies support that 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed…Abstract Number: 3133 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Between Quantitatively Measured Infrapatellar Fat Pad High Signal Intensity Alteration and Knee Structural and Symptomatic Abnormalities in Patients with Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP), a local adipose tissue, may have important contributions to knee osteoarthritis (OA). IPFP signal intensity alterations on MRI may represent…Abstract Number: 934 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Joint Space Narrowing Is an Independent Predictor of Radiographic and MRI Damage Progression in Patients with Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) osteitis and synovitis have been identified as predictors of structural damage progression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)1,2, but the predictive value…Abstract Number: 3177 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Targeted Nuclear Imaging for the Early Detection of Lung Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of the main causes of systemic sclerosis (SSc)-related deaths. Since routine diagnostics such as high resolution computed tomography…Abstract Number: 1276 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Sensitive SPECT/CT Imaging of Fibroblast Activation Protein Expression after Anti-IL-22 Treatment in Experimental Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial tissue has been demonstrated to express high levels of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) using anti-FAP-antibody 28H1. In addition, RA patients…Abstract Number: 1279 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Imaging of Ankylosing Spondylitis By [18f]Fluoride PET-CT to Assess Bone Formation Activity and to Monitor Anti-TNF Therapy
Background/Purpose: Bone formation is an important hallmark of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Recently, we demonstrated that axial bone formation activity in AS patients can be visualized…Abstract Number: 1281 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Feasibility and Reliability of the Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada Sacroiliac Joint Inflammation Score for Children with Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: We lack a method to quantify severity of inflammation in the pediatric sacroiliac joint. We evaluated the reliability and construct validity of the Spondyloarthritis…Abstract Number: 1324 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Simplified Larsen Erosion Score Is Compatible with the Classic Larsen Score but Less Time Consuming in Practice
Background/Purpose: Untreated rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often leads to joint space narrowing (JSN) and erosions in synovial joints. Scoring systems like Sharp van der Heijde and…Abstract Number: 2405 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Knee Sounds May Predict Osteoarthritis Severity, Symptoms and Function: Pilot Investigation Toward a Novel Dynamic Imaging System
Background/Purpose: Knee sounds (KS) may provide a low-cost, risk-free means of identifying presence and severity of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Unlike static imaging, KS during dynamic…Abstract Number: 1327 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Five-Year Follow-up of Radiographic Sacroiliitis: Progression As Well As Improvement?
Background/Purpose: Detecting sacroiliitis on plain pelvic X-rays is known to be difficult, resulting in large variability regarding presence/absence of radiographic sacroiliitis. In addition, the number…Abstract Number: 3255 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Brain White Matter Integrity: A Future Biomarker for Rheumatoid Arthritis Related Fatigue?
Background/Purpose: Fatigue is a major burden among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The identification of reliable biomarkers would greatly enhance research in this challenging field. …Abstract Number: 1336 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
To PET or Not to PET in General Rheumatology Practice
Background/Purpose: Fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography with computerised tomography (PET/CT) is an imaging modality which identifies tissues with high metabolic activity. It is used in the…Abstract Number: 1375 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
S100A8/A9, a Serum and Imaging Biomarker for Assessing Joint Inflammation and Destruction in Experimental Seronegative Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Seronegative joint diseases such as psoriatic arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis are characterized by the lack of autoantibodies, potent biomarkers used for predicting disease…
