Journal Article
Musculoskeletal ultrasound including definitions for ultrasonographic pathology
Richard J. Wakefield,Peter V. Balint,Marcin Szkudlarek,Emilio Filippucci,Marina Backhaus,Maria Antonietta D'Agostino,Esperanza Naredo Sanchez,Annamaria Iagnocco,Wolfgang A. Schmidt,George A W Bruyn,David Kane,Philip O'Connor,Bernhard Manger,Fred Joshua,Juhani M. Koski,Walter Grassi,Marissa Lassere,Nanno Swen,Franz Kainberger,Andrea Klauser,Mikkel Østergaard,Andrew K. Brown,Klaus P Machold,Philip G. Conaghan +23 more
TL;DR: The first report from the OMERACT ultrasound special interest group is presented, which has compared US against the criteria of the O MERACT filter, and for the first time are consensus US definitions for common pathological lesions seen in patients with inflammatory arthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guidelines for musculoskeletal ultrasound in rheumatology
Marina Backhaus,Gerd-Rüdiger Burmester,Gerber T,Walter Grassi,K P Machold,Wijnand A. A. Swen,Richard J. Wakefield,B Manger +7 more
TL;DR: US is most commonly used in the assessment of soft tissue disease or detection of fluid collection and can also be used to visualise other structures, such as cartilage and bone surfaces, and its ability to be repeated as often as necessary makes it particularly useful for the monitoring of treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
An explanation for the apparent dissociation between clinical remission and continued structural deterioration in rheumatoid arthritis
Andrew K. Brown,Philip G. Conaghan,Zunaid Karim,Mark A. Quinn,Kei Ikeda,Charles Peterfy,Elizabeth M A Hensor,Richard J. Wakefield,Philip O'Connor,Paul Emery +9 more
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 ArticleDOI
The value of sonography in the detection of bone erosions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a comparison with conventional radiography.
Richard J. Wakefield,Wayne Gibbon,Philip G. Conaghan,Philip O'Connor,Dennis McGonagle,Colin T. Pease,Michael J. Green,Douglas J. Veale,John D. Isaacs,Paul Emery +9 more
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.
Andrew K. Brown,Mark A. Quinn,Zunaid Karim,Philip G. Conaghan,Charles Peterfy,Elizabeth M A Hensor,Richard J. Wakefield,Philip O'Connor,Paul Emery +8 more
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.
