MRI of rheumatoid arthritis:comparing the outcome measures in rheumatology clinical trials (OMERACT) scoring and volume of synovitis for the assessment of biologic therapy.
The outcome measures in rheumatology clinical trials (OMERACT) scores are the most mature quantitation system for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Direct measuring techniques of synovial volume have been reported with good reproducibility, although few reports have demonstrated the changes of these measures in response to treatment. To assess these clinical respons...
متن کاملImaging in rheumatoid arthritis: results of group discussions.
None of the current scoring methods for radiological damage in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is ideal. The objective for RA imaging at OMERACT IV was to start discussion about the problems and applicability of the current scoring methods for radiological damage and to start discussion on the challenge of new imaging techniques. The RA imaging module comprised preconference reading material, plenary...
متن کاملQuantitative power Doppler ultrasound measures of peripheral joint synovitis in poor prognosis early rheumatoid arthritis predict radiographic progression.
OBJECTIVE To assess the value of quantitative vascular imaging by power Doppler US (PDUS) as a tool that can be used to stratify patient risk of joint damage in early seropositive RA while still biologic naive but on synthetic DMARD treatment. METHODS Eighty-five patients with seropositive RA of <3 years duration had clinical, laboratory and imaging assessments at 0 and 12 months. Imaging ass...
متن کاملUltrasound imaging for the rheumatologist. XVIII. Ultrasound measurements.
One of the largest challenges to the field of musculoskeletal ultrasonography is attempting to accurately quantify the changes seen in chronic arthritis. With advances in ultrasound technology, researchers have been increasingly exploring ways of more accurately assessing these changes and attempting to reach consensus with agreed scoring systems. This review presents the main scoring systems d...
متن کاملRadiographic progression in rheumatoid arthritis.
Radiographic progression is an important outcome measure in clinical trials and observational studies with patients with rheuamtoid arthritis. In this article we describe several aspects of measuring radiographic progression. We introduce the scoring method, discuss scoring methodology and issues regarding reliability of scoring, describe the relation between disease activity, radiographic prog...
