Cone-Beam CT Opportunities in Assessment of Hand ond Wrist Joints in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Abstract

There is a high general and primary morbidity of rheumatoid arthritis in Russian Federation subjects. Diagnosis of this disease in daily practice is based on the assessment of clinical manifestations, laboratory markers and results of radiological methods of investigation, an X-ray among which is still leading. However, standard radiography allows assessing bone structure modification not in all the cases. Nowadays in the diagnostic algorithm for structural changes estimation of musculoskeletal system the high-tech technique of cone-beam computed tomography is gradually adopting. Purpose: the comparative analysis of standard radiography and cone-beam computed tomography in the hand and wrist joints pathological changes detection in rheumatoid arthritis. Materials and methods. The results of hand and wrist standard radiography and cone-beam computed tomography of 42 patients in rheumatoid arthritis in anamnesis have been analyzed. Results. Cone-beam computed tomography showed a significant advantage in assessment of the hand and wrist joints changes regardless of the disease stage in all the patients from the observation group. Conclusion. Taking into consideration low radiation dose, high spatial resolution with the ability to identify structural remodeling spots in size from 1 mm and relatively low direct cost of the study, cone-beam computed tomography could be considered as the methodology of the first step in diagnosis of the hand and wrist joints changes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, this technique could be used in the dynamics, while monitoring the effectiveness of the therapy, replacing gradually standard radiography.
