Abstract Purpose of Review Patients with inflammatory arthropathies have a high rate of
fragility fractures. Diagnostic assessment and monitoring of bone density and quality are …

High resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) is a 3-
dimensional imaging modality with superior sensitivity for bone changes and abnormalities …

High-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) is a low-dose three-dimensional
imaging technique, originally developed for in vivo assessment of bone microarchitecture at …

Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by erosive joint damage, deterioration
of bone mass, and biomechanics. Preclinical evidence suggests a beneficial effect of Janus …

Background Assessment of cortical bone porosity and geometry by imaging in vivo can
provide useful information about bone quality that is independent of bone mineral density …

In this chapter, we discuss current updates and applications of Dual Energy Computed
Tomography (DECT), iodine-DECT mapping, and high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT …

Objectives Erosion development is of crucial significance as it impacts prognosis and
therapy decisions in patients with inflammatory joint diseases. Our study aimed to determine …

This exploratory study aimed to examine the impact of abatacept treatment on bone structure
in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using high-resolution peripheral quantitative …

Objective This meta-analysis explored the diagnostic value of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide
antibody (anti-CCP) and rheumatoid factor (RF) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the Asian …

Objectives The purpose of the study was to prospectively investigate change (repair or
progression) in the number, surface area and volume of cortical interruptions, bone density …
