Detection, scoring and volume assessment of bone erosions by ultrasonography in rheumatoid arthritis: comparison with CT

    Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review

    Abstract

    To determine the accuracy of ultrasonography (US) for bone erosion detection in different areas of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints with multislice CT as the reference method. Second, to establish the necessary bone volume loss on CT for US to reliably detect it as an erosion, and finally to compare two semiquantitative US-erosion scoring methods.
