Metacarpal Index Estimated by Digital X-ray Radiogrammetry as a Tool for Differentiating Rheumatoid Arthritis Related Periarticular Osteopenia

UNLABELLED To investigate Metacarpal Index (MCI) and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) estimated by Digital X-ray Radiogrammetry (DXR) with respect to its ability to quantify severity-dependent variations of bone mineralisation in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis compared to Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), 122 patients underwent a prospective analysis of BMD and MCI by DXR, whereas bot...

Diagnosis of periarticular osteoporosis in rheumatoid arthritis using digital X-ray radiogrammetry

Osteoporosis can manifest in two ways in rheumatoid arthritis: generalized bone loss, which may result from immobility, the inflammatory process per se and/or treatments such as steroids; and periarticular demineralization, which is probably due to local release of inflammatory agents. Digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR) is an effective and sensitive modality for monitoring periarticular osteopo...

Use of digital x ray radiogrammetry in the assessment of joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis.

OBJECTIVE To compare digital x ray radiogrammetry (DXR) with manual radiography for assessing bone loss in RA and examine the relationship of the scores obtained with other disease indices. METHODS 225 consecutive consenting subjects attending the RA clinic were enrolled. An x ray examination was carried out; demographic details recorded; a self assessment questionnaire completed; blood taken...

Metacarpal bone loss in patients with rheumatoid arthritis estimated by a new Digital X-ray Radiogrammetry method – initial results

BACKGROUND The Digital X-ray Radiogrammetry (DXR) method measures the cortical bone thickness in the shafts of the metacarpals and has demonstrated its relevance in the assessment of hand bone loss caused by rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this study was to validate a novel approach of the DXR method in comparison with the original version considering patients with RA. METHOD The study ...

Digital X-Ray Imaging

The use of X-ray image receptors that produce a digital image is becoming increasingly important. Possible benefits include improved dynamic range and detective quantum efficiency, improved detectability for objects of low intrinsic contrast, and reduced radiation dose. The image can be available quickly. The display is separated from the image capture so that processing and contrast adjustment...
