Distal Radius Correlation with Femur and Lumbar Spine T-scores: A Comprehensive Analysis
Background/Purpose: Osteoporosis, defined by the WHO as a BMD reduction of 2.5 standard deviations below that of a young healthy adult, is a major public…Abstract Number: 0220 • ACR Convergence 2024
Ultrasound-assessed Dactylitis as a Biomarker in the Early Diagnosis of Psoriatic Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The primary objective of this prospective, longitudinal, observational study was to evaluate the predictive value of ultrasound (US)-detected elementary lesions of dactylitis together with…Abstract Number: 0643 • ACR Convergence 2024
Using FDG PET Brain Scans and Deep Learning Analyses to Identify a Specific Network Correlated with Cognitive Impairment in SLE
Background/Purpose: Cognitive impairment (CI) is a debilitating, untreatable problem for up to 80% of individuals with SLE and human and mouse data suggest multiple SLE-related…Abstract Number: 1100 • ACR Convergence 2024
Coronary Dual-Energy Computed Tomography for the Detection of Monosodium Urate Crystal Deposition in the Arteries of Individuals with and Without Gout (CORODECT): A Multi-Center Prospective Imaging Study
Background/Purpose: Prior dual-energy CT (DECT) studies have suggested that monosodium urate (MSU) crystals may be present in the coronary arteries of patients with gout. However,…Abstract Number: 1588 • ACR Convergence 2024
Validation of a Lung Ultrasound Interpretation Criteria for Interstitial Lung Disease Screening in Systemic Sclerosis and Inflammatory Myopathy
Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common complication of connective tissue disease (CTD) with a high prevalence in SSc and inflammatory myopathy (IM). Early…Abstract Number: 1964 • ACR Convergence 2024
Comparison of Knee Minimum Joint Space Width Measurements Using Deep Learning in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty
Background/Purpose: While large joint damage is a hallmark of both Osteoarthritis (OA) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), the mechanisms of degradation are substantially different. Minimum joint…Abstract Number: 2208 • ACR Convergence 2024
Clinical, Imaging and Treatment Characteristics of Patients with Progressive Systemic Autoimmune Rheumatic Disease-related Interstitial Lung Diseases (SARD-ILDs) in the ILD-PRO Registry
Background/Purpose: The ILD-PRO Registry is a multicenter US registry of patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We…Abstract Number: 0221 • ACR Convergence 2024
The Significance of Tenderness with or Without Swelling of Finger Joints in Relation to Magnetic-resonance-imaging, Ultrasound and X-ray in Psoriatic Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The musculoskeletal involvement in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) can involve both articular and extra articular structures manifested by inflammatory and structural lesions. The relationship between…Abstract Number: 0696 • ACR Convergence 2024
MRI DAVIX Index Is an Imaging Biomarker for Endothelial Damage of Systemic Sclerosis Digital Ulcers
