Validation Of Popliteal Lymph Node Phenotype and Bin Expansion As Biomarkers Of Rheumatoid Arthritis Knee Flare
Background/Purpose: Factors precipitating joint flare in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are poorly understood. Contrast enhanced (CE) MRI studies in murine models have identified popliteal lymph…Abstract Number: 2436 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Classification Of Axspa Based On Positive Imaging (Radiographs and/or MRI of the Sacroiliac Joints) By Local Rheumatologists Or Radiologists Versus Central Trained Readers In The DESIR-Cohort
Background/Purpose: Sacroiliitis on MRI and X-rays play an important role in the ASAS axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) criteria1. Though, recognition of sacroiliitis on X-rays (X-SI) and…Abstract Number: 1120 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Concordance Between ‘a Positive MRI Of The Sacroiliac joints’ Based On The Local Reading Versus a Centralised Reading: Experience From The DESIR-Cohort
Background/Purpose: Reading of MRIs of the sacroiliac joints (MRI-SI) in clinical trials is usually performed by ≥1 trained readers while in daily practice this is…Abstract Number: 2181 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Methotrexate and Infliximab With Or Without Zoledronic Acid Improve Disease Activity and Prevent Damage Progression In Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis
Background/Purpose: Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is an inflammatory bone disease that causes pain, disability, and sometimes permanent skeletal damage. MRI allows for visualization of bone…Abstract Number: 1124 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Lumbar Degenerative Changes In The Spondyloartritis Caught Early Cohort
Background/Purpose: The early diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is difficult, however new classification criteria are available, the ASAS axSpA criteria. The SPondyloArthritis Caught Early (SPACE)…Abstract Number: 1976 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Assessment Of Early Response To Certolizumab Pegol In Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase IIIb Study Applying Magnetic Resonance Imaging At Week 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16
Background/Purpose: The OMERACT rheumatoid arthritis (RA) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scoring system (RAMRIS) is a validated scoring system for assessment of synovitis, bone edema and…Abstract Number: 1129 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Development and Validation Of a Rapid Knee Cartilage Quantification Method
Background/Purpose: Cartilage morphometry on magnetic resonance images (MRIs) may become an acceptable outcome measure for clinical trials among patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, obtaining…Abstract Number: 1978 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Effect Of Certolizumab On Lymphatic Volume and Flow In Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients With Acute Flare
