Frequent monitoring of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients enables timely treatment
adjustments and improved outcomes. Currently this is not feasible due to a shortage of …

Objective To develop an optical spectral transmission (OST) model to measure joint
inflammation, and thus disease activity, as well as to evaluate (patho-) physiological findings …

Objective. To examine the value of optical spectral transmission (OST) in detecting joint
inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to evaluate whether OST …

Objective To investigate the performance and factors of influence of optical spectral
transmission (OST) imaging as a new technique for measuring joint inflammation in …

Objectives In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), treat-to-target strategies require instruments for valid
detection of joint inflammation. Therefore, imaging modalities are increasingly used in …

A clinical need exists for low-cost and noninvasive imaging tools capable of detecting
inflammation in the joints of inflammatory arthritis patients. Previous studies have reported …

Background Optical spectral transmission (OST) is a modern diagnostic modality, able to
assess the blood-specific absorption of light transmitted through a tissue, promising …

Rheumatoid arthritis causes changes in the optical properties of tissues in the joints, which
could be detected using spectral imaging. This has the potential for development of low cost …

Optical spectral transmission imaging (OI) measures the bloodspecific absorption of light
transmitted through tissue. 1–5 OI of joints may measure the level of inflammation in joint …

Objective. Lightscan is a novel, rapid, low-cost, easily operated and noninvasive imaging
technology used to assess inflammatory activity in proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints. The …
