Two-Day Workshop on HR-pQCT in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Date
This two-day workshop is sponsored by the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, UCSF, and the international Study Group for XTrEme-Ct in RA (SPECTRA). The SPECTRA group is an international consortium aiming to investigate the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of an emerging imaging modality, high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), as a biomarker for joint damage in inflammatory arthritis. The participants include clinicians and researchers from the United States, Canada, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Hong Kong.
The workshop will have keynote presentations reviewing imaging applications in rheumatoid arthritis, from the perspectives of rheumatologists as well as radiologists, followed by in-depth discussion on the technical aspects of HR-pQCT, standardization of the evaluation of bone erosions in RA using HR‐pQCT, quantitative analysis of joint shape and bone structure, and multi-modality studies in RA using HR‐pQCT, MRI and other techniques.
