Erosive Evolution in Hand Osteoarthritis Is Associated with Incident Joint Tenderness Independent of MRI-Defined Bone Marrow Lesions and Synovitis
Background/Purpose: Previous studies have shown no association between increased amount of radiographic hand osteoarthritis (OA) resulting in more hand pain/disabilities. In this longitudinal study, our…Abstract Number: 1027 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Frequency of MRI-Detected Hip Osteoarthritis Features in Persons with Chronic Hip Pain and the Diagnostic Performance of Radiography Using MRI As the Reference
Background/Purpose: Conventional radiography has been the standard imaging tool to diagnose and grade the severity of hip OA. However, radiography cannot visualize the bone marrow,…Abstract Number: 1030 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Frequency and Fluctuation of Susceptibility Artifacts in the Tibio-Femoral Joint Space in Painful Knees On 3T MRI and Association with Meniscal Tears, Radiographic Joint Space Narrowing and Calcifications
Background/Purpose: Linear or punctate hypointensities are commonly seen on gradient echo (GRE) sequences in the tibiofemoral joint (TFJ) space of osteoarthritic joints. These magnetic susceptibility…Abstract Number: 1034 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Changing Osteoarthritis Treatment Assessment Paradigms: Subchondral Bone Is a More Responsive Measure of Progression Than the Current Radiographic Standard
Background/Purpose: Radiographic joint space width (JSW) assessment, a surrogate for cartilage assessment, is the standard for structure modification trials of osteoarthritis (OA). However the subchondral…
