Imaging in Rheumatology

Future Medicine Ltd, February 2011, Pages: 107

In Rheumatology imaging is used to diagnose, monitor and grade disease processes. This Special Focus Issue of the peer-reviewed journal International Journal of Clinical Rheumatology features 13 articles on novel imaging techniques to better and earlier characterize athropathies, methods to better score disease progression using a variety of imaging techniques and manifestations of rheumatologic disorders at the lung and brain. The papers in this edition will serve as an update of existing imaging techniques and will provide a perspective on the future of imaging in Rheumatology
