Abstract

Background/Purpose:
Structural damage in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) includes bone erosions, cartilage changes, and joint malalignment; historically evaluated with conventional radiography. Ultrasound (US) has been shown to be a valid tool for the
evaluation of both cartilage changes and bone erosions in RA. We aimed to obtain agreement on the definitions of elementary lesions and develop semiquantitative scoring systems for assessing structural damage by US and to validate these in a
web-based reliability exercise
