Radiology: Advances in the radiological assessment of rheumatoid arthritis

摘要: Standard radiographic assessment of changes in rheumatoid joints is limited by factors within the process, i.e. performance X-ray equipment, recording medium and assessment. The development microfocal units overcomes many limitations conventional radiology. radiographs high magnification resolution produced this system permit early diagnosis direct quantitative evaluation disease progress, providing a more effective therapeutic trials. Advances other imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) emission are evaluated terms their potential value assessing activity.
