Journal ArticleDOI

An explanation for the apparent dissociation between clinical remission and continued structural deterioration in rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: Subclinical joint inflammation detected by imaging techniques explains the structural deterioration in RA patients in clinical remission who are receiving conventional therapy and reinforces the utility of imaging for the accurate evaluation of disease status and the prediction of structural outcome.
Journal Article

OMERACT Rheumatoid Arthritis Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies. Core set of MRI acquisitions, joint pathology definitions, and the OMERACT RA-MRI scoring system.

TL;DR: The 2002 OMERACT rheumatoid arthritis magnetic resonance image scoring system (RAMRIS) for evaluation of inflammatory and destructive changes in RA hands and wrists is described, developed by an international MRI-OMERACT group.
Journal ArticleDOI

The value of sonography in the detection of bone erosions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a comparison with conventional radiography.

TL;DR: Sonography is a reliable technique that detects more erosions than radiography, especially in early RA, and has potential in the management of patients with early RA/inflammatory arthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presence of significant synovitis in rheumatoid arthritis patients with disease-modifying antirheumatic drug-induced clinical remission: evidence from an imaging study may explain structural progression.

TL;DR: Most RA patients who satisfied the remission criteria with normal findings on clinical and laboratory studies had imaging-detected synovitis, which may explain the observed discrepancy between disease activity and outcome in RA.
